Since 1871, The Daily Illini has been a mainstay on the University of Illinois campus and has grown into one of the country’s largest student-run newspapers. Distributed free throughout Champaign-Urbana, The Daily Illini provides the campus community with its number one source for news, sports coverage and commentary and public opinion. Through its Diversions section, highlights of campus life and film and entertainment reviews are published three days a week. And, with its award-winning Web site, The Daily Illini covers campus 24/7.

Additionally, a number of topical special editions — including our New Student Edition, Ebert Film Festival Guide, and semi-annual career and housing guides — round out our coverage of the University community.
