The Medium (Rutgers)

The Medium is a student newspaper in the United States. It is a student-run weekly satire and comedy publication at Rutgers University, the state university of New Jersey. Founded in 1970 as The Livingston Medium, it is the second largest newspaper in circulation at Rutgers University, after the official student newspaper, The Daily Targum. Referring to itself as the "Entertainment Weekly of Rutgers University", the more recent incarnations of The Medium focus on satirical and humorous articles based on current events, popular culture, and events on the Rutgers campuses. Since 1970, the newspaper has been headquartered on Livingston Campus.

The newspaper has a traditional focus on promoting free speech. The Medium frequently defends their right to publish offensive material under the First Amendment, specifically the freedom of speech and freedom of the press. The Medium has sparked frequent protests from the student body and pressure from the administration over material they have published.
