About Us
Established in 1969, The Badger Herald is one of the first independent and student run newspapers in America. Since its establishment, it has been awarded one of the top five independent newspapers in the country along with countless other awards.
Due to the physical lack of students on campus, we have decided to suspend our print issue for the rest of the semester and until in-person classes resume. In its place, we are publishing two newsletters a week to send the latest articles straight to email inboxes.
Our online news expands much further. The Badger Herald operates on a 24/7 online news model to ensure we report on events the moment they happen via our website and social media outlets. The Badger Herald is UW Madison’s only 24/7 news source.

TWO STUDENT DAILIES
Us vs. Them
UW-Madison is a unique campus with a strong culture of student journalism boasting two separate newspapers. This is how we stack up against the competition.
With nearly twice the Facebook likes and Twitter followers as The Daily Cardinal, we drive more traffic to our website and reach thousands more students.
