Pro Statements

The Daily Nexus communicates the breaking news and narratives of UC Santa Barbara and Isla Vista, allowing students to document our community’s ongoing stories as they unfold. As UCSB’s independent, student-run newspaper, the Nexus is committed to unbiased, comprehensive and timely reporting, both in print and online.
Our entirely student-based team covers a variety of topics. We provide comprehensive coverage of UCSB student government, interview stars like Ariana Grande on the red carpet at SBIFF and feature hidden gems like UCSB’s Cheadle Center, a natural history museum under Harder Stadium.
Our contributions to the community extend beyond articles. The new Daily Nexus Games website publishes weekly games tailored to the UCSB community. And our Data team runs the Daily Nexus Grades Search website that countless UCSB students use to choose their courses each quarter.
A core principle at the Daily Nexus is accessibility. Copies of the Nexus are available in newsstands around campus for all to take. We also encourage anyone interested in journalism to join the Nexus staff, no experience required. Our newsroom provides a collaborative work environment with opportunities to develop skills relevant to any career path.

Our dedication to excellence is recognized nationwide. At the 2025 Associated Collegiate Press conference, we received awards in the News, Data, Arts & Entertainment, Photo and Spanish Section categories.

Since 1930, the Daily Nexus team has been committed to bringing impactful journalism to the UCSB and I.V. community. A vote for the Nexus is a vote for the free press!
