The Temple News
The Temple News (TTN) is the editorially independent bi-weekly newspaper of Temple University. It prints 2,000 copies to be distributed primarily on Temple's Main Campus every other Tuesday. A staff of 36, supported by more than 150 writers, is responsible for designing, reporting and editing the bi-weekly paper. Increasingly, TTN is supplementing its bi-weekly print product with breaking news and online-only content on its web site.
In 2023, the paper's efforts garnered nine Keystone Press Awards. The previous year, the paper's staff won 13 Keystones. In November 2008, the paper's web site, temple-news.com, was honored with the 2008 National Online Pacemaker Award, and has also won the print counterpart, a National Pacemaker Award, both awarded by the Associated Collegiate Press.
Temple University Weekly first appeared on Monday, Sept. 19, 1921. It was led by an alumni editor and fully supported by the university, though student writers were responsible for coverage.
Beginning in the 1930s and continuing into the 1950s, with exceptions during World War II, the now-labeled Temple University News printed Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. During the 1960s and 1970s, the paper went daily, before dropping to four days per week in the 1980s. In the early 1990s, TTN was the fourth largest daily newspaper in Philadelphia. In the late 1990s, citing declining ad revenue and staff size, the paper returned to its weekly origins. With the exception of a single semester in 2005, TTN went bi-weekly in 2019, and monthly in 2023 before returning to bi-weekly prints in 2024. TTN also publishes daily online content.
Contrary to industry trends, The Temple News had a renaissance in staff numbers and interest in its content in the twenty-first century. The publication did not create its website until 1998, and it did not have its own domain name until 2003.
TTN has made significant progress in the sphere of internet journalism. It has been a perennial nominee for the Associated Collegiate Press's Online Pacemaker[4] award, which it won in 2008. At the moment, the paper is powered by WordPress.
In January 2009,[5] a newly designed website premiered, offering content available exclusively online and a rising multimedia presence, including photo galleries, audio, and video.
In the summer of 2012, the site was revamped in its current configuration. The Temple News provides complimentary printed copies to all students, professors, and staff. Its present format is designed to make it more interesting for its target audience. The site features breaking news, editorials, podcast episodes, data visuals, multimedia, and a variety of other topics.
