About Us
Serving thousands of readers in print and online at www.ucsdguardian.org, The UCSD Guardian is the University of California, San Diego’s award-winning independent student newspaper, published by UCSD students for the UCSD community. Our work seeks to amplify and inform the student body and greater San Diego populace through ethical and accessible journalism. The Guardian’s mission is to facilitate the open marketplace of ideas, foster a climate of community growth, and uphold our editorial values of public accountability, progress, and communication.
We publish every Monday during the regular academic year, with the exception of Summer Sessions, University holidays, and final examinations. The Guardian is a student-run department independently funded by advertising sales. For further advertising inquiries, please email [email protected] or call (858) 534-0466.
We are currently inactive for the summer and will be back mid-September. Our publishing schedule for the 25-26 year will be available then. Should you need anything urgent related to The Guardian, please send an email to [email protected].
