The Daily Seattle WA

Since 1891, The Daily (and its predecessor, The Pacific Wave) has been home to thousands of jugglers, storytellers, artists, and budding business people. Students learn to write, edit, illustrate, and design an award-winning newspaper; or sell advertising, all the while juggling academic course work and other commitments.

In addition to preparing the print edition, students are exploring the electronic frontier by developing multimedia content for www.dailyuw.com; The Daily Video, our broadcast wing of talented videographers; and an array of podcasts. Our work is published both in newsprint and the web, including including YouTube, Twitter, and others.

As a student-run newspaper, staff members learn effective communication and how to manage teams and their own schedules in a business environment. They also learn the responsibilities linked to the great power inherent in the Fourth Estate regardless of whether they continue in journalism or evolve into politicians, public servants, or business people.

The Daily is one of the most awarded college newspapers in the United States, having placed at or near the top in several national and regional contests over the years. At the 2010 National College Media Conference, The Daily earned the Pacemaker for General Excellence, Best of Show, Story of the Year Editorial/Opinion, Story of the Year Diversity and Multimedia Story of the Year. Most recently, The Daily was awarded the 2018 SPJ awards for breaking news reporting and in-depth reporting.

The Daily is published online Monday through Friday throughout the academic year. The Daily also publishes regular special editions and the quarterly Pacific Wave Magazine both online and in print available for pickup across the University of Washington campus and local U-District community.
