The Daily Pennsylvanian

The Daily Pennsylvanian, Inc. is the independent student media organization of the University of Pennsylvania. The DP, Inc. publishes a newspaper, The Daily Pennsylvanian, the 34th Street Magazine, and the satirical publication Under the Button. It is published entirely by Penn undergraduates and is editorially and financially independent from the university.^[2]

The Daily Pennsylvanian was founded in 1885 as a successor to the University Magazine, a publication by the Philomathean Society.^[3] In 1894, the paper began publishing daily, and remained so until it paused publication in May 1943 due to World War II. It resumed publication in November 1945. In 1962, after a feud with the University of Pennsylvania Student Government Association over a critical editorial led to the Association withdrawing its recognition and subsidies for the paper, the DP became independent.^[4] That same year, the organization accepted its first woman staffer, Sharon Lee Ribner. The university's alternative women weekly, the Pennsylvanian News, ended publication in 1964.^[5] In 1968, the 34th Street magazine, the publication's arts and culture magazine, was founded. Under the Button, the DP's satirical publication, was created out of 34th Street in 2008.^[6]

In 1984, the Daily Pennsylvanian incorporated itself, becoming fully editorially and financially independent of the University of Pennsylvania. In 2014, the paper reduced its printing frequency, dropping its Friday issue.^[7] After the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March of 2020, the DP ceased its print publication for the first time since World War II.^[8] In 2021, the DP announced it would maintain printing the further-reduced printing schedule it adopted during the pandemic.^[9]
