About The Herald


The Brown Daily Herald, Inc. is an independent, not-for-profit corporation that provides Brown University and the surrounding community with news, information and a venue for the exchange of ideas.


Since 1891, The Herald has served as the daily newspaper of record for the Brown community, and for over a decade The Herald has expanded its online presence to provide the most up-to-date news to readers everywhere.


Web Policy

The Herald’s online archives are a history of the Brown community. We will not alter the archives for any reason unless a story contains factual errors. In that case, we will change the incorrect information in the body of the story and add a note indicating what has been changed and the reason for the change. We also will not take steps to prevent a story’s inclusion in a search engine nor to prevent a specific search term from finding a given story, as these measures reduce the usefulness of The Herald’s archives to the community as a whole.
