Indiana Daily Student
The Indiana Daily Student (IDS) is an independent, student-run newspaper published for the community of Indiana University Bloomington, since 1867. The IDS is free and distributed throughout the campus and city.
During the fall, spring and summer semesters, the IDS is published Thursdays and has a circulation of 9,000.
During the 2021/2022 academic year, Indiana Daily Student produced 2,579 articles, making it the seventh most prolific in the U.S. in terms of articles published.
At its founding Feb. 22, 1867, the paper was originally known as the Indiana Student and was published twice a month by half a dozen students. It ceased publication in 1874 due to financial difficulties but William Lowe Bryan, who was a student and would later become IU's 10th president, relaunched it in 1882. In 1897, Florence Reid Myrick became the paper's first female editor-in-chief. In 1899, the newspaper was renamed the Daily Student.
The university gained ownership of the Daily Student in 1910 and used it as a journalism lab. In 1911, the university formed the School of Journalism. That same year, the school required every journalism student to work on the paper. Students received course credit and a grade for their work. Serving as editor-in-chief required 15 credit hours, but in 1905, the position became a paid job. In 1914, the paper was renamed to its current publication title, the Indiana Daily Student.
In September 1922, Ernie Pyle became editor-in-chief and later left Indiana University a semester before graduation to work at a paper in LaPorte, Indiana.
On Dec. 7, 1941, the IDS ran an extra on the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and is one of two known college newspapers to publish that afternoon.
The IDS moved to Ernie Pyle Hall in 1954. The building was renamed in honor of Pyle, who was shot and killed in World War II in 1945. His desk sat in the newsroom. The building was also home to the School of Journalism, until the completion of The Media School in 2014.
