''The Minnesota Daily'' is the campus newspaper of the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, published Monday-Thursday while school is in session, and published weekly on Wednesdays during summer sessions. Published since 1900, the paper is currently the largest student-run and student-written newspaper in the United States and the third-largest paper in the state of Minnesota, behind the Minneapolis Star Tribune and the St. Paul Pioneer Press. "The Daily" was named best daily college newspaper in the United States in 2009 and 2010 by the Society of Professional Journalists. The paper is independent from the University, but receives $550,000 worth of student service fees funding. The Daily has a distribution of 14,200 copies per day (Monday through Wednesday during the school year) and 16,000 copies per day (Thursdays during the school year) – available at over 200 locations on and near campus free of charge, as it is largely funded by advertising. A typical edition has about a dozen pages, with a special sports section every Monday and arts & entertainment section every Tuesday and Thursday. The Daily also provides readers with several special issues, including voters guides, housing guides, survival guides (published the first day of school), "Best of" inserts via the Grapevine Awards Fair (recognizing local businesses) and even parody issues – distributed during finals weeks. ''The Minnesota Daily'' is entirely student-run and student-written, with an average staff of 130 students per semester. The newspaper dually operates as a training institution, providing students with real work experience in journalism, photography, editing, advertising sales, marketing, finance, graphic design, editorial & advertising production, human resources, information systems, public relations, survey research and web programming. In addition, many students gain leadership and delegation skills in the ''Daily's'' many management positions. In May 2010, the Society of Professional Journalists named the ''Minnesota Daily'' the best all-around daily student newspaper in the country for the second year in a row.〔http://www.spj.org/news.asp?REF=974〕 ==History== Starting in 1877, the student newspaper/magazine at the University of Minnesota was called the ''Ariel''. In 1899, another local newspaper called ''Football'' was started by Horace Bagley, Mike Luby and Clarence Miller. Unlike the ''Ariel'', it was published daily. In response, the publishers of the Ariel decided to become a daily paper as well, giving birth to the ''Minnesota Daily''. There have been a number of notable individuals to work at the paper, including former NAACP leader Roy Wilkins, longtime CBS correspondent Harry Reasoner, radio personality Garrison Keillor, and musician Bob Dylan. ''The Minnesota Daily'' was the first college newspaper to provide access to its coverage via the Internet in 1990. The ''Daily'' website publishes each day's stories in addition to exclusive web videos, photo slideshows, and additional features. In 2001, the popular ''A&E'' section of the ''Daily'' was suddenly shut down by student managers of the paper, which generated much criticism among readers and ''Daily'' alumni. Garrison Keillor, who had written for the section while a student at the university, said the choice to shutter the section "is not a decision that journalists would have made, and it diminishes the prestige of the paper." The section was quickly relaunched. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Minnesota Daily」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
