"The Temple News" (TTN) is the editorially independent weekly newspaper of Temple University.It prints 10,000 copies to be distributed primarily on Temple's Main Campus every Tuesday. A staff of 25, supported by more than 150 writers, is responsible for designing, reporting and editing the 20-page paper. Increasingly, TTN is supplementing its weekly print product with breaking news and online-only content on its Web site. In September 2007, TTN launched Broad & Cecil, its own blog community.

In 2006, the paper's staff won 11 first- and second-place Keystone Awards, [ [http://www.temple.edu/temple_times/4-6-06/keystone.htm Temple News staffers win 11 Keystone Awards] , Karen Shuey, "Temple Times", April 6, 2006.] and has also won a National Pacemaker Award, [ [http://media.www.temple-news.com/media/storage/paper143/news/2007/08/28/Opinion/Perspectives.On.The.Temple.Community.Finally.Find.Home.Here-2940457.shtml Perspectives on the Temple community finally find home here] , Christopher Wink, "The Temple News", Aug. 28, 2007.] awarded by the Associated Collegiate Press.

History

"Temple University Weekly" first appeared on Monday, Sept. 19, 1921. It was led by an alumni editor and fully supported by the university, though student writers were responsible for coverage.

Beginning in the 1930s and continuing into the 1950s, with exceptions during World War II, the now-labeled "Temple University News" printed Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. During the 1960s and 1970s, the paper went daily, before returning in the 1980s to the three-times-weekly publishing from its past. In the 1990s, citing declining ad revenue and staff size, the paper returned to its weekly origins. With the exception of a single semester in 2005, TTN has been weekly ever since.

Online

In the 21st century, bucking industry trends, "The Temple News" found a resurgence in its staff size, in addition to interest in its content. It wasn't until 1998 that the paper launched its Web site, and it wasn't until 2003 that it got its own domain name.

Despite its slow start, TTN has made steady progress in the field of online journalism. It has been a finalist for the Online Pacemaker,Fact|date=October 2007 an award offered by the Associated Collegiate Press. Currently, the paper uses WordPress.

A newly designed Web site debuted in February 2008, featuring online-only articles and an increasing multimedia presence, including photo galleries, audio and video.

Production

In a given Temple News production week, articles and graphics are typically assigned during Monday budget meetings for the following week's Tuesday printing. Features and editorial content are typically deadlined on Thursday, to be fact-checked and corrected by section editors and copy editors.

While both the news and sports sections have moved away from including breaking news in its print product — opting for an online venue — these sections typically allow for deadlines on Monday production nights.
