''The Daily Targum'' is the official student newspaper of Rutgers University, the State University of New Jersey. Founded in 1869, it is the second-oldest collegiate newspaper in the United States. The ''Daily Targum'' is student written and managed, and boasts a circulation of 15,000. In its current form, it exists as a bi-fold tabloid-style paper featuring international, national, local, and university news, as well as editorials, columns, comics, classifieds, sports, and other amusements. In 1980, the paper achieved independence from the University, establishing a non-profit organization, the Targum Publishing Company, which now oversees all areas of the paper. The ''Daily Targum'' is published Monday through Friday while classes are in session, in New Brunswick, New Jersey. Its website is www.dailytargum.com, and can be found on Facebook (/thedailytargum), Twitter (@daily_targum), and Instagram (@dailytargum). In 2006, publishing of ''The Newark Targum'' began, serving the Rutgers–Newark campus. CNBC personality Rebecca Quick served as the newspaper's editor-in-chief for a period, before joining ''The Wall Street Journal''. AVN personality David Aaron Clark served as the newspaper's editor-in-chief for a period. ==Targum timeline== 1866: Then Rutgers President William H. Campbell lectures to Rutgers men on the original text of the Old Testament, including Aramaic language paraphrases of the Hebrew Scriptures, called Targums.
