The Daily Aztec is a not-for-profit, independent student newspaper serving San Diego State University (SDSU) and the surrounding College Area in San Diego, California. It was established in 1913.

The Daily Aztec publishes on a regular basis when the university is in session (excluding holidays). It serves a student population of over 35,000 and a faculty and staff population of over 4,000.[1] It is named for the university's mascot, the Aztec.

History

In the fall of 1913, the student body of the then-San Diego Normal School voted to begin publishing a four (4) page weekly campus newspaper.[2] The first edition premiered Nov. 26, 1913, as a four-page tabloid, under the name of the Normal News Weekly.[2] In 1921, the paper was renamed the Paper Lantern.[2] In 1960, the paper shifted to daily publication, becoming The Daily Aztec.[2] Over the years the publication's frequency varied; as of fall 2013, it appears twice a week.[3] In 2017, the organization received a first place award for best college newspaper, from the San Diego Society of Professional Journalists. Several staff members also received individual awards.[4]

A former editor in chief, Dave Hasemeyer (1978–79), went on to win a Pulitzer Prize in 2013 while working for Inside Climate News.[3]

Structure

Although previously connected with the SDSU journalism department, The Daily Aztec is now a program of Associated Students of San Diego State University. The paper is student-run and independent, but overseen by the Student Media Advisory Committee (SMAC). SMAC is composed of students, faculty and staff from SDSU and has both permanent and annual members; SMAC hires the editor in chief, approves the paper's budgets, and is responsible for ensuring that paper follows approved advertising and editorial policies.[2]
