The Campanil

Oakland, US

The Campanil is the only student-run, multi-platform news organization at Mills College, a private liberal arts institution located in Oakland, California. The print newspaper is produced every week, while content regularly appears online. It is funded through a combination of advertising revenue and a portion of the undergraduate student activities fee. Established in 1917, the newspaper underwent several name changes throughout the years, including The Weekly and The Stream. When the publication established its current title in 2007, it committed itself to experiment with new methods of storytelling. Today, we continue to do so. Our current website, for example, was launched in September 2009, and we have made vast forays into multimedia and communicating via social networks. Above all, we strive to engage and interact with Mills students present and past, faculty and staff as well as the local community on issues of importance.
