The Daily Iowan is an independent, 19,500-circulation daily student newspaper serving Iowa City and the University of Iowa community. It has consistently won a number of collegiate journalism awards, including multiple National Pacemaker Awards, and is generally regarded as one of the finest student newspapers in the country.

George Gallup, creator of the Gallup poll, served as editor of The Daily Iowan in the early 1920s. The newspaper's publisher is William Casey, who has served in the post since 1976. He is credited with starting the newspaper's scholarship program for talented future journalists, who have since worked at news agencies such as The Associated Press, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The St. Petersburg Times, The Dallas Morning News, The Star Tribune, The Des Moines Register, ESPN, USA Today, SPIN Magazine and The Times-Picayune. On December 2011 The Daily Iowan endorsed 2012 Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul.

Criticism

Like many other newspapers, the Daily Iowan publishes detailed arrest records. The records then become easily accessible from search engines. Although police blotters are removed from the website a month after they are posted, cached google images of the listings may remain online permanently.
