The DP, Street and UTB Delivered
Dear Members of the Penn Community,
At The Daily Pennsylvanian, we recognize the profound significance of independent journalism in today's world. As Penn was catapulted into the national spotlight last semester, the student journalists at the DP broke some of the biggest stories in higher education while also localizing issues and providing the reporting and research that only college journalism does today.
I am thrilled to extend a heartfelt invitation to The Daily Pennsylvanian's Publisher's Society, an opportunity to support strong reporting and storytelling within our community at Penn.
For students who aspire to pursue journalism as both a profession and a passion, the DP represents more than just a student group—it is a learning institution for objective reporting and journalistic expression. However, the existence of this institution and resource for the broader Penn community hinges on ongoing support. Without your generosity and commitment, the DP's ability to provide a platform for student journalists to hone their craft and amplify their voices will be at risk.
By joining the Publisher's Society, you not only stay informed about the latest developments at Penn by receiving the DP’s print products and exclusive products but also become a crucial part of safeguarding the principles of independent journalism. Your support ensures that aspiring journalists at Penn have the opportunity to pursue their passion and contribute to the discourse that shapes our collective understanding.
Your support for the DP helps by:
Providing nearly $100,000 in stipends, scholarships and awards to student leaders
Funding trips to report on Ivy League athletics, Pennsylvania’s influence in the 2024 election, and more
Providing needed resources and technology for our team of over 500 undergraduate students from diverse backgrounds
Launching careers in journalism, media, business, the arts, and more
