The McGill Daily
The McGill Daily is an independent student newspaper at McGill University and is entirely run by students. Despite its name, The Daily has recently reduced its print publication to once a week, normally on Mondays, in addition to producing online-only content and weekly radio segments for CKUT 90.3 FM.
The Daily was originally published daily in 1911. It began as a sports rag in the broadsheet format and has since transitioned to the tabloid format, covering a wide range of issues related to the McGill and greater Montreal community. The paper's content sections are News, Commentary, Culture, Features, Science + Technology, Sports, Unfit to Print (radio and video), and Compendium!.
The Daily strives to represent the voices of those traditionally marginalized, and recognizes that power is unevenly distributed – though not solely – on the basis of gender, age, social class, race, sexuality, religion, ability, and cultural identity. The Daily generally supports grassroots student activism and direct action. Much of its features coverage is devoted to issues of social justice, accessibility, and inequality. The paper's longstanding policy of publishing almost all letters means that dissenting points of view and lively debate occur within the newspaper's pages.
