The newspaper was founded on June 14, 1876 as a biweekly publication and initially named ''The Princetonian.'' As the college grew, the newspaper grew too. In 1883, it became a weekly. In 1885, it increased its publication schedule to three-times weekly. In 1892, its name was changed to ''The Daily Princetonian'', its current name, and its publication schedule was increased to five afternoons a week. In 1895, its publication was increased again to six mornings a week. Early issues of the ''Prince'' called for unproctored examinations, a policy introduced with the implementation of the honor code system at the college in 1893. Another issue published a [[Telegraphy|telegraphic]] report of a [[Princeton Tigers baseball]] game, one of the first times a college used a telegraph in its coverage.{{Sfn|Leitch|1978|p=380}} |

The Prince is the second oldest daily college newspaper in the United States.[1]
The newspaper was founded on June 14, 1876 as a biweekly publication and initially named The Princetonian. As the college grew, the newspaper grew too. In 1883, it became a weekly. In 1885, it increased its publication schedule to three-times weekly. In 1892, its name was changed to The Daily Princetonian, its current name, and its publication schedule was increased to five afternoons a week. In 1895, its publication was increased again to six mornings a week. Early issues of the Prince called for unproctored examinations, a policy introduced with the implementation of the honor code system at the college in 1893. Another issue published a telegraphic report of a Princeton Tigers baseball game, one of the first times a college used a telegraph in its coverage.[2]
In the early 20th century, prior to World War I, the newspaper experienced improvements in its coverage and editorial policy. Woodrow Wilson was covered extensively, first as president of Princeton University from 1902 to 1910 and then, after winning the 1912 presidential election, as the 28th U.S. president from 1913 to 1921. In 1910, it incorporated Associated Press dispatches. It advocated for the abolition of mandatory chapel attendance, supported women's suffrage, and reinforced the ongoing revolt against the campus eating clubs. The 1920s saw the paper become more light-hearted, with the introduction of popular humorous columns, a weekly photograph supplement, and annual pieces like an April Fool's story.[3]
During the 1930s, the newspaper took on a more serious role, partnering with The Harvard Crimson to persuade students to advocate against prohibition. It covered the escalating world tension that ultimately led to World War II, and published columns both for and against the United States entering the war. In February 1943, after the U.S. entered World War II, publication of the newspaper was suspended in February 1943 until the conclusion of the war in 1945. After World War II, the Prince covered the death of Albert Einstein, the election of Robert Goheen a mere three hours after he was elected at a Princeton University faculty meeting, and other topics regarding Princeton University's administration and athletic program. A common topic for news and editorials were eating clubs elections and debates over their influence on student social life.[4]
In the 1960s, the Prince published articles on the assassinationofJohn F. Kennedy in November 1963, and the subsequent week-long cancellation of university events. Five years later, in 1968, the assassinationofMartin Luther King Jr. resulted in the publication of letters, editorials, and articles and columns on his influence and student involvement in the civil rights movement. The newspaper continued as a progressive force, calling for coeducation and requesting increased resources targeted at minority enrollment. The Prince played a role in student activism opposing the Vietnam War, organizing events and playing a role in organizing a two-week recess so students could campaign for in the 1968 presidential election. In 1976, the newspaper celebrated the 100th anniversary of its founding with a seminar and two-day symposium.[4]
In January 2007, the Prince caused controversy when it published a fictitious article in its joke issue, which referenced a lawsuit by Jian Li, who sued Princeton alleging that he was denied admission for being Asian. It received complaints for its purposeful use of broken English and offensive stereotypes towards Asian-Americans.[5] The Prince issued a statement concerning its motivations and expectations for the piece, stating that it did not mean to be offensive but rather satirical.[6]
The paper's archives were digitized in 2012 and were named in honor of a long-time employee, Larry DuPraz.[7] In 2021, the paper began publishing digital articles daily and print articles weekly.[8]
The Prince is owned by The Daily Princetonian Publishing Co., which is controlled by a board of trustees of mostly former Princeton editors and staffers.[9] The organization is a registered nonprofit, and the organization and newspaper are independent from the university.[10][9]
The newspaper is produced and managed by a staff of around 200 undergraduate students and has an annual budget of more than $70,000.[9] Its headquarters is located at 48 University Place on Princeton University's campus.[11] The Prince has a daily print circulation of 2,000, and its website receives roughly 30,000 daily hits.[9]
The newspaper is managed by an editor-in-chief and a business manager, and its staff is grouped into various sections, like news, sports, opinions, and more.[12]
In 1974, the Prince elected its first woman business manager, Judy E. Piper;[13] in 1978, it elected its first woman editor, Anne C. Mackay-Smith.[14] The current editor-in-chief is Eden Teshome, who was elected in December 2023.[15]
Many columnists and editors for the Prince have gone on to hold prominent positions in both government, journalism, and more.
