The Harvard Crimson, founded in 1873 by a group of Harvard University undergraduates, is the nation's oldest continuously published daily college newspaper. Based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, The Crimson covers a wide array of topics including campus news, politics, sports, arts, opinion pieces, and national events. Entirely student-run, the newspaper has a rich tradition of journalistic excellence and has produced many notable alumni in media and politics. It operates independently from the university, giving its staff full editorial freedom. The Harvard Crimson is currently owned and managed by its student editors and writers, continuing its legacy as a trusted source of news for the Harvard community and beyond.
