Founded in 1929, The Miami Hurricane is published weekly by a staff of mostly undergraduate University of Miami students. The newspaper has won many awards during its history, including two Associated Collegiate Press National Pacemaker Awards in 1992 and 2009,[1] and is an Associated Collegiate Press "Hall of Fame" newspaper.[2]

It has a circulation of 8,000,[3] consisting predominantly of University of Miami students, staff and faculty. The newspaper is supported financially by local advertising and university subsidies. It is distributed free of charge on the University of Miami campus and at several nearby off-campus locations.

The Miami Hurricane is an affiliate of UWIRE,[4] which distributes and promotes its content to their network.

Founding

The first campus publication, The University News, was published in October 1927. After financial trouble, the paper ceased publication the end of that year. Many of the original staff members regrouped in 1929 to try again, forming The Miami Hurricane.[5]
