The Other Press is run by a collective and is published weekly during the fall and winter semesters, and monthly (as a magazine) during the summer. We receive our funding from a student levy collected every semester at registration, and from local and national advertising revenue.

We adhere to CUP’s Statement of Common Principles and Code of Ethics—except when it suits us not to.
