Colored BlocksAbout The PressPass

After years of bringing the Best of Berkeley to students, faculty, and community members, The Daily Californian knew there was something else that could help the UC campus community find great places to go--and save money at the same time.

The Daily Cal PressPass is the result of our continued mission to serve Berkeley and its residents. Taking a nod at some of the perks we as a newespaper have, we have created a pocket-size card that gives great savings and discount priveledges to everyone.

While other discount cards have appeared in Berkeley over the years, they offered discounts for a price. One could not have access to the discounts without purchasing their discount card. The Daily Californian, though, has a different approach. Being Berkeley's oldest, free daily newspaper, the only acceptable price for such a valuable discount card would be FREE.

With a run of 50,000, the PressPass is assured to be in the hands of nearly every Berkeley student, faculty member, and surrounding business person. Thousands of cards were mailed to business owners and community leaders throughout Berkeley and Emeryville.
