| //The Trinity Tripod// has served as Trinity's student newspaper since 1904. | //The Trinity Tripod// was founded in 1904 as a student newspaper. At that time, the //[[tablet|Trinity Tablet]]// was another long-running student newspaper on campus. In 1908, the //Tablet// ceased publication and the //Tripod// became the main student newspaper. |

| The //Tripod// is funded through each semester's Student Activities Fee as well as through subscriptions, donations, and advertisements. The paper aims to provide students and faculty with complete campus news, while also amplifying student voices. Since its founding, the //Tripod// has been published nearly continuously, with the exception of certain issues, often during wartime. It is published on Tuesdays while classes are in session, and distributed throughout campus. The //Tripod// office sits under [[jackson_hall|Jackson Hall Dormitory]]. | The //Tripod// is funded through each semester's Student Activities Fee as well as through subscriptions, donations, and advertisements.
