Become a critical voice on campus...
The McGill Daily, in production for over 90 years, is the only independent student newspaper on campus at McGill University and is entirely run by volunteers. Currently, we publish twice weekly, on Mondays and Thursdays.

About The Daily
"'Why is The McGill Daily?'
Asked the pessimist sourly.
'Thank God," said the optimist gaily,
'That it isn't hourly!'"
- A.J.M. Smith, The Blasted Pine, 1967
The McGill Daily, at one time the oldest daily student newspaper in the Commonwealth, has been the training ground for generations of journalists since its inception in 1911.
Currently the second-largest student newspaper in Canada and the most widely read, The Daily has a weekly circulation of 28,000 together with its francophone sister publication, Le Délit. The Daily began as a broadsheet that focused mainly on sports news. Its evolution has taken many directions. It has taken courageous stands over the years, such as publishing a special issue for International Women's Day in the late 1970s, that were ridiculed at the time but later embraced by the mainstream media.
The Daily has been independent from student government since 1980. It is published by the Daily Publications Society, an autonomous body whose membership includes all McGill undergraduate students.
