The Northern Iowan is a student newspaper at the University of Northern Iowa. [1] [2] It is published weekly, [3] on Wednesday and distributed around campus, College Hill, and downtown Cedar Falls free of charge. [4] The paper publishes articles on campus news and events, the university's sports programs, and student opinion pieces. The name of the paper has changed over the years. It was called the Students Offering from 1888–1889, the Normal Eye from 1892–1911, the College Eye from 1911–1967, and the Northern Iowan from 1967–present.

In 1967 the newspaper was at the center of a public furor over the newspaper's publication of an article by a young English professor, Edward Hoffmans, criticizing the draft and advocating an end to the Vietnam War. [5]

In 2021, the Northern Iowan introduced NI en Español, a regular section of campus news in the Spanish language, for Spanish readers. [6]

In 2022, the student newspaper celebrated its 130th anniversary. It has remained committed to informing students and readers about events in the community and holding institutions accountable. The paper's history demonstrates the importance of student journalism and its ability to serve the public and create the historic record of the times. [7]
