The Knox Student is the student newspaper of Knox College, founded in 1878.

Online edition

The online edition of TKS launched officially February 28, 2008.

The Knox Student online

The site is being designed from scratch by online editor Matt Baker using entirely open source software. Features will be added regularly.

The publishing cycle of TKS is going to change to a more constant effort. Instead of weekly updates, stories will go online when they are finished, then printed in the weekly print issue.

Print edition

The Knox Student publishes a weekly print edition every Thursday afternoon while school is in session, as well as a freshman orientation issue at the beginning of the year and a senior issue that takes the place of The Gale - which at one point, was the college's yearbook.

Every student, staff, faculty, and trustee receive a free copy of the newspaper. Parents, Alumni, and other interested persons may subscribe to The Knox Student by contacting the Business Manager. The price is $60 per year. There are several local business that receive complementary copies of the newspaper.

The newspaper accepts national and local advertisements. National ads are placed with Media|Mate and local ads are placed with the Business Manager. Knox College affiliates automatically receive a discounted rate.

The reporting is sometimes inaccurate, as with any newspaper. Many copies of TKS travel straight from students' mailboxes into the recycling bin.

The Knox Student receives funding from the Broadcast, Internet and Publications Board. The budget for 2006-2007 is approximately $14,000. The cost per paper is approximately $0.25 (assuming 2,000 copies are produced).
