The Michigan Daily, established 132 years ago, is a trusted and independent student-run newspaper that aims to inform the University of Michigan and the Ann Arbor communities about events and issues relevant to the University and Washtenaw County. With a mission centered around impartiality, fairness, and delivering the complete truth, The Michigan Daily holds the university administration accountable while protecting its coverage from external interests. The newspaper covers a wide range of topics, including campus news, administration updates, sports teams, faculty, and cultural events.

Alumni of The Michigan Daily have gone on to work at esteemed publications such as The New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal. The newspaper operates on a campus without a journalism school and is based in the newly renovated Stanford Lipsey Student Publications Building. Through its dedicated staff and commitment to accurate reporting, The Michigan Daily continues to provide valuable and critical journalism to its readers
