The Chronicle’s independence

I have a question.  How much control does Duke really have over what is published in the Chronicle or on the website.  Does Duke ever suggests that the Chronicle print an article or ask that the Chronicle not to print an article?  Does Duke give the Chronicle money? 
 
Best regards,
Tom

 

Hi Tom,

The Chronicle prides itself on its editorial freedom. The daily newspaper went independent of The University in 1993, when the organization incorporated as The Duke Student Publishing Company, a non-profit. Duke has no control over anything The Chronicle publishes–in print or online. Like any source, Duke administrators might make requests, but these are weighed no more carefully than any others. Duke does not provide money to The Chronicle; funding is generated through advertising and subscriptions.

Thanks,

Chelsea Allison
