Acerca de

The Chautauquan Daily is the official newspaper of Chautauqua Institution in Chautauqua, N.Y.

During Chautauqua’s nine-week summer season, the Daily is a community newspaper distributed six days a week by carriers to subscribers at their homes within and immediately outside the Institution. It is also sold by hawkers on Bestor Plaza each summer morning as well as mailed to subscribers. The newspaper is written, designed and edited at Chautauqua and sent to an off-site printer who returns the finished publication to the Institution for delivery.

The newspaper began as the Chautauqua Assembly Daily Herald in 1876, two years after the founding of the Chautauqua Institution. Since then, it has continuously served Chautauquans with information about current events and as the archival record. The newsroom has been a newswriting and reporting training camp for well-known journalists such as investigative reporter Ida Tarbell and current Time magazine executive editor Nancy Gibbs.

The Daily covers as many events as possible during the nine-week summer season. Reporters and photographers fill its pages with news, feature stories and daily up-to-date previews of the day’s activities. The seasonal staff are generally college students who apply to be a part of the Chautauqua experience as reporters, photographers, copy editors and page designers. Their mission is to help all Chautauquans, first-timers and those with multi-generation backgrounds, know about as many speakers, programs, entertainment and special events as possible. The staff each year is a mix of newcomers and veterans.

The 2012 newsroom staff ranged in age from 19 to 60 years, with talented, experienced interns from Kent State University, Ohio University, Syracuse University, University of Missouri, University of Rochester, Rochester Institute of Technology, The College of William and Mary, Marietta College, Vassar College and Western Kentucky University. Other staff members included a university media teacher, retired newspeople, freelance journalists, a retired university professor, a former U.S. Peace Corps volunteer, a retired social worker and a retired library director.
