"The Red & Black" is an independent daily student newspaper of the University of Georgia.

History

Students published its first issue in tabloid format on November 24, 1893, from offices in the Academic Building on North Campus.Fact|date=June 2007

In the spring of 1895, the UGA faculty ordered that publication of the paper be discontinued; however, students revived the paper that fall as an independent venture with no oversight by the University.Fact|date=June 2007 The private venture's success that Fall upset the faculty, and they took back control in January 1896 with the Athletic Association in charge of overseeing the paper.cite web| url = http://dlg.galileo.usg.edu/cgi-bin/ebind2html.pl/reed_c09?seq=151| title = The Red and Black| accessdate =2007-01-03| first = Thomas Walter| last = Reed| year = ca. 1949| work = History of the University of Georgia Chapter IX: The Administration of Chancellor Patrick H.

Published weekly, "The Red and Black" was the official organ of the Athletic Council from 1896 to 1928. The paper advertised athletic competitions and reported on the culture of the University.

In 1928, the paper's administration moved under the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication as a laboratory for its students. It was being published semiweekly in 1968 when it changed to a broadsheet format and moved its offices to the new journalism building on campus.

In 1980, after numerous run-ins with the University's administrators, "The Red & Black" became independent of the University a second time, left to support itself through advertising. Its office moved off-campus, and its publication was directed by volunteer staff and student writers.Fact|date=June 2007 In 1991, publication was expanded from four to five days a week.

Present-day publication

Today, the paper has a Monday to Friday circulation of 17,000 during the academic year and generally is published in one section. However, each Thursday the paper produces an "Out & About" section, chronicling the local music scene and other entertainment and variety pieces. On Fridays during football season, the paper publishes the "First & Goal" section to provide in-depth coverage of the Georgia Bulldogs football team. The paper is published once a week during summer session, when it has a circulation of 8,500. cite web| url = http://www.redandblack.com/advertising/| title = The Red and Black Advertising| accessdate =2007-10-05| first = The Red and| last = Black| year = 2007| work = The Red and Black Advertising Rate Card| publisher = The Red and Black| pages = 1]
