The Indiana Daily Student was originally the student newspaper at Indiana University, but now runs separately from the school. It was founded in 1867, when a group of students gathered to form the Indiana Student and what is now the Indiana Daily Student. A turning point for the IDS came in 1969, when the newspaper adopted its charter, making it financially and editorially independent from IU. Because of the paper s independence, journalism students were no longer required to work at the paper. The IDS was a paid-circulation newspaper until the fall of 1995. That fall, the IDS went to free, mass circulation. Since then, the newspaper has been completely dependent on advertising revenue, receiving no money from the university or student fees.
