The Daily Tar Heel is the student newspaper at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The non-profit organization, which incorporated in 1989 as a separate legal entity from UNC, stopped taking student fees in 1993 and has since been fully funded by its advertising revenue, thus making it both fiscally and editorially independent. The student journalists are solely responsible for all content under the direction of the student editor-in-chief. The 2010-11 editor-in-chief is Sarah Frier. The paper’s business operations are governed by a 12-member, student majority board of directors whose open slots are filled by the board each spring for the next year.
The paper circulates 18,000 free copies each publishing day during the regular academic year to 205 distribution locations throughout campus, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Chatham and Durham, making it the largest community newspaper in the area with an estimated readership of 38,000. It publishes 11,000 copies weekly on Thursdays during the summer.
