The Daily Mississippian

The Daily Mississippian, commonly called The DM, is the student newspaper of the University of Mississippi. The first issue of The Mississippian was published in 1911. It is operated as an independent student-run newspaper, and is published in print one day a week and online daily. It publishes Thursdays during the fall and spring semesters, and occasionally during the June and July summer terms. It has a daily print circulation of 9,000 during fall and spring. It is also the only college newspaper in Mississippi to be a full member of the state press association, and it competes in the Mississippi Press Association's Better Newspaper Contest against professional daily newspapers.

The DM is a part of the S. Gale Denley Student Media Center. The Director of Student Media reports to the Dean of the School of Journalism and New Media. The DM staff consists of approximately 15 editors, along with a couple dozen reporters and photographers. These numbers vary from year to year and semester to semester. The staff has won numerous national, regional and state awards.

There is also a separate staff devoted entirely to advertising sales and production.

The DM's website, thedmonline.com began offering daily updates in 1996.
