I've loved this paper since it published "Alaskans Speak in a Frightened Whisper: Palin is…read more'Fascist, Sexist, Vindictive, and Mean'" (Jones, Charley. 09/2008) in which "So Sambo beat the bitch!" was attributed to Sarah Palin, her restaurant commentary to colleagues after Obama beat Clinton in the primaries. Other press ignored her quote, thus the love. Truth to power, y'all.

I spent most of my undergraduate career at NU working on the Daily. I was a general assignment…read morereporter, a cops reporter, business reporter, city editor, and a columnist for the Wednesday feature insert. At the time -- the early '90s -- it was the only daily in the city of 85,000... and hella better than its mersh weekly counterpart, the Evanston Review. Even though I don't subscribe any more -- hook me up, people! -- the Daily remains the newspaper to read in Evanston... in addition to the Chicago Tribune. Its coverage of campus issues, ongoing town-gown tensions, and local news is unparalleled. And because most of the people working on the Daily are going to journalism school at Medill, you know that the student reportage and editing is top notch. The Daily may be one of the best college dailies in the country. If you live in Evanston -- or visit -- be sure to pick up a copy from one of the many coin boxes... or free on campus. (It may be free off campus, as well, but I don't know for sure.)

Got to love a local gay newspaper that covers it all as well as this weekly paper does. Always pick…read moreup one on my way home from work. Covers everything city state nation and beyond. Keep up the great reporting.
