The Knox Student is the weekly student newspaper of Knox College. It publishes 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 and the price is $40 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).
