Who are we?

Our mission as the Business Board of The Stanford Daily is to achieve the long-term financial independence and sustainability of one of the nation’s most important student-run newspapers. As a fully independent publication, The Daily plays a critical role in delivering rigorous, unbiased reporting to the Stanford community and beyond. We are committed to building a resilient, growth-oriented team that can support this larger mission with an annual $500,000 operating budget.

Our team is tenacious and creative, able to navigate the diverse and evolving media landscape with both agility and strategic vision. By strengthening our financial foundation, we directly support The Daily’s ability to produce high-quality, independent journalism that holds institutions accountable and informs public discourse.

Our business operations span five core areas: Advertising, Development (alumni & donor engagement), Yearbook, Journalism Programs, and Partnerships and Sales. Through these teams, we engage with a diverse set of clients, partners, alumni, and community stakeholders.

Team members gain hands-on experience in client strategy, negotiation, revenue generation, and business development, while also developing leadership and organizational skills. Above all, our work is driven by a shared commitment to sustaining student journalism as a vital public good and ensuring that The Stanford Daily remains a leading source of independent, credible reporting.
