# The Daily Cougar ## About The Daily Cougar has been the main student-run newspaper at the University of Houston for nearly a century. It started as a small campus sheet and grew into a full digital and print operation that reaches thousands of students, faculty and alumni every week. The team focuses on local stories that matter to the Houston campus, from football games at TDECU Stadium to debates in student government. Reporters also dig into bigger topics like funding for research labs, changes in tuition and new dining options around campus. Their coverage mixes straight news with opinion columns and feature pieces that highlight student achievements and struggles. Because the paper is independent, it can ask tough questions without worrying about official university approval. Over the years it has trained hundreds of young journalists who later moved on to jobs at the Houston Chronicle and national outlets. The site updates daily with breaking alerts about events, weather closings and athletic scores. Staff writers work closely with photographers and graphic designers to make stories visually engaging. Readers can leave comments and pitch their own ideas through an open submission form. The paper also runs a podcast and newsletter that recap the week’s top stories for busy students. Advertising from local businesses and campus groups helps keep the operation running wit
