The Grand Views is the official student newspaper of Grand View University in Des Moines, Iowa, published in print and online. It was founded in 1949, and its publication is funded by advertising revenues as well as funds from the university administration, which pays for its free distribution on campus.
The paper is published once a week during the fall and spring semesters, except for winter and spring breaks and the week preceding final examinations. The printed circulation is 2,000 and is distributed mostly on campus with only a small fraction of newspapers delivered off-campus via US Mail.
Most issues of The Grand Views consist of 12 pages and sections include news, opinion, sports and features. The paper is printed primarily in black and white, although spot color has been regularly used in the production since fall 2005, and full-color issues are usually produced for special issues such as graduation, alumni week or holidays.
