Established in 1871 and independent since 1971, The Daily Californian is the oldest daily newspaper in Berkeley, a community of young, well educated people with high incomes. According to the June 22, 2006 issue of Editor & Publisher, although young people (18-24) shy away from reading (mainstream) newspapers, a new study conducted by Y2M indicates that 77% of undergraduates read the print edition of campus papers at least once a month and 57% read it online. Showcase your business out in the #1 public university with The Daily Californian.
