Columbia Daily Spectator

The Columbia Spectator, founded in 1877, delivers news and information daily to thousands of readers around Columbia, Morningside Heights, and West Harlem. We are the second-oldest college daily paper in the country and have been financially independent from the University since 1962. The newspaper is published five days a week during the academic year and our blog, Spectrum, offers updates on news, arts, commentary.

The organization is run by undergraduates from Barnard, Columbia College, General Studies, and SEAS, with a staff totaling over 200 students. Spectator has opportunities for a wide range of interests, including reporting, writing, editing, photography, design, multimedia, and finance.

Along with the daily paper and blog, Spectator Publishing Company Inc. includes The Eye, a weekly arts and features magazine; La Pagina, a weekly Spanish-language bulletin; and the business division, which manages Spectator's financial standing.
