The Chronicle is Duke's independent, student-run news publication. Actually older than the University itself, the Chronicle was founded December 9, 1905 at Duke University's predecessor Trinity College. Trinity College became Duke University in 1924, and the newspaper continued to cover campus news and the world around it. The Chronicle was first realized as a weekly newspaper, but by the middle of the century had twice evolved into a bi-weekly and then a tri-weekly publication. In 1968, the paper was finally expanded into a weekday daily.
Originally financed by the Columbian and Hesperian Literary Societies, the newspaper was later financed by student subscription fees and advertisements. Currently (2007), it is completely independent of the University, and funded entirely by advertising revenue.
