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 and the 2025 P.R.E.S.S. referendum. For advertising inquiries, please email [email protected].

The UCSD Guardian’s print and online issues connect you directly with thousands of students, faculty, and staff. Find us in print at our newsstands on campus or online right here! Contact us today to discuss your best advertising options or ask questions about our coverage.
