''The Daily Free Press'' is the independent student newspaper at Boston University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://dailyfreepress.com/about/ )〕 It publishes a daily print edition Monday through Thursday during the academic year . ''The Daily Free Press'' is staffed by about 50 editors, writers, reporters and photographers, many but not all of whom are BU journalism students, who work on a volunteer basis and change over each semester. The paper is governed by a board of former editors who make up the Board of Directors of Back Bay Publishing Co., Inc., a Massachusetts non-profit. Commonly called ''The FreeP'', ''The Daily Free Press'' began publishing May 5, 1970 in response to violent student protests on campus in the wake of the Kent State shootings. It is now the publication at BU with the longest continuing run. ==Overview== ''The Daily Free Press'' had published an issue every instructional day since its formation until February 13, 2009. In light of increasingly tight finances for newspapers and declining advertising revenue, the paper announced it would discontinue its Friday issue. As of September 2011, circulation was 5,000 issues per day Monday through Thursday. The publication is currently the fourth largest daily English newspaper in the Boston metropolitan area. ''The Daily Free Press'' has won numerous awards for its reporting, including the Columbia Press Association's Gold Medal Award for Excellence. The paper covers campus news, local (Boston-area) news, and campus sports, and publishes editorials, columns, and letters each day. In January 1980, the Arts and Entertainment coverage became The MUSE, the FreeP's weekly A&E publication. Science Tuesday, the first collegiate weekly science section in the country, began in the 1990s. The FreeP also began publishing a news, arts and opinion blog in 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title = Daily Free NOW )〕 The editorial staff of the FreeP is strictly volunteer. All writers, photographers and business staffers are BU students, with the exception of the office manager. Members of the editorial board work nights to put out the paper and regularly work 50 hours per week, in addition to their classes. Every issue has a daily crossword puzzle and sudoku for students to complete. Many alumni have gone on to careers in journalism, television and film, and a few have won the Pulitzer Prize. 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「The Daily Free Press」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
