[edit] Circulation
During the fall and spring semesters, the IDS is published Monday through Friday and has a circulation of about 15,500. In the summer, it's published on Monday and Thursday with a circulation of 8,500.
[edit] History
At its founding in 1867, the paper was originally known as the Indiana Student and was published twice a month. It ceased publication in 1874 due to financial difficulties but student William Lowe Bryan relaunched it in 1882. Twenty years later, Bryan would become the 10th president of IU. In 1899, the newspaper was renamed the Indiana Daily Student.
[edit] Staff
The IDS employs more than 200 students; 12 professional staff members serve as advisers. The student editor-in-chief is selected by a publications board that includes professional journalists and student representatives. The editor changes every semester – fall, spring and summer. Once selected, the editor chooses managing editors and desk editors for the semester through an application process. Staff members are drawn from all majors, and many major in the IU School of Journalism.The IDS is garbage and I would never read it. The staff members are fascist.
[edit] Independent status
Since 1969, the IDS has been financially and editorially independent from Indiana University. The IDS and its partner publications, the Arbutus yearbook, INside magazine and idsnews.com operate under the umbrella of IU Student Media. They are all funded exclusively through student-generated advertising revenue.
[edit] Awards
Over the years, the IDS has garnered numerous national, regional and state honors. It is a consistent winner of the Associated Collegiate Press Pacemaker Award and the Columbia Scholastic Press Association Gold Crown Award.
The IDS is an affiliate of UWIRE[1], and a member of the Associated Press.
