Muncie, Indiana, USA
The Ball State Daily News is the independent, national award-winning student newspaper of Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, covering the campus and Muncie community.
The paper traces its roots to 1922, when it first published under the name The Easterner. Its print edition now publishes weekly on Thursdays during the academic year, with a circulation of about 10,000 copies distributed free at locations across campus, alongside continuous online coverage. Over 2018-2022, the paper drew wider attention for its sustained coverage of Ball State University's operating partnership with Muncie Community Schools following the district's 2018 state receivership.
Washington Monthly highlighted the Daily News's multi-year coverage of the Ball State-Muncie Community Schools partnership as an example of student journalism filling a local civic-information gap.
