The Daily Targum
The Daily Targum is the official student newspaper of Rutgers University. Founded in 1867, it is the second-oldest collegiate newspaper in the United States. The Daily Targum is student written and managed, and boasts a circulation of 5,000 in 2017. 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 Thursday and on Sundays while classes are in session, in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
In 2006, publishing of The Newark Targum began (and ended), having served the Rutgers–Newark campus for four issues. 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 had previously served as the newspaper's editor-in-chief for a period.
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.[citation needed] The word "Targum" means interpretation in Aramaic and is used as a slang word when referring to crib sheets, among various Aramaic terms that become part of the campus vernacular. This is the inspiration for the name of the forthcoming periodical.
1867: The Targum first appears as a four-page publication, the forerunner of the Scarlet Letter Yearbook.[citation needed]
1869: On Jan. 29 the Targum begins publishing as a monthly newspaper and literary magazine. It includes campus news, poetry, humor and essays on literature, science, philosophy, religion and travel. This same year Rutgers hosts the first intercollegiate football game with Princeton University, which Rutgers wins (and The Targum dutifully reports), 6–4.
1880: The Targum begins printing once every three weeks.
1891: The Targum becomes a weekly publication.
1919: The format changes from an 81⁄2" by 11" format to an 11" by 17" tabloid size.
