About The Wheel

The Emory Wheel was founded in 1919 and is currently the only student-run newspaper of Emory University. The Wheel publishes twice weekly (Tuesday and Friday) during the academic year, except during University holidays and scheduled publication intermissions.

A single copy of the Wheel is free of charge. To purchase additional copies, please contact the Business and Advertising Office. Copies of the paper are delivered throughout the campus and into areas of downtown Decatur.

The Wheel is financially and editorially independent from the University. All of the content is generated and edited by the Wheel's student staff, and all costs are covered by profits from self-generated advertising sales. The Wheel reserves the rights to all content as it appears in these pages, and permission to reproduce material must be granted by the editor in chief.

The newspaper consists of six editorial sections and the business office, which contains advertising, financial and organizational departments.

News: This is the section that keeps you up-to-date with news from Emory's campus and the surrounding area. In addition to straight news stories, reporters also work on longer features and analytical articles. Reporters have interviewed public figures like former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, written about the effect of the Iraq War on the Emory community, and reported on controversies within student government and the University administration.

The editorials section features both regular columnists and op-ed pieces from Emory students, faculty and administrators.
