The current Editor-in-Chief, Kaz Komolafe, was stranded in New York City due to the weather and unable to attend the committee meeting. Founded in 1890 under the name College Topics, The Cavalier Daily is Virginia‘s oldest collegiate daily and the oldest daily newspaper in Charlottesville. It is entirely student-run with no professional or faculty oversight, and the organization generates all of its operating revenue through advertising and donations. Matt Cameron is a fourth year student studying Political and Social Thought in the distinguished major program. He has served on The Cavalier Daily managing board for two years, first as executive editor from January 2011 through January 2012, and then as editor-in-chief from January 2012 through January 2013. Mr. Cameron said the mission of The Cavalier Daily is to publish a student newspaper and maintain an online publication as well as to educate and train students at the University of Virginia in the art of daily collegiate journalism. He said The Cavalier Daily is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with an annual budget of $250,000. Their print circulation is 10,000 copies Monday through Thursday and their staff size is about 200. Mr. Cameron provided an organizational structure. The Board of Directors consist of an Editor-in-Chief, Operations Manager, Managing Editor, Executive Editor, and a Chief Financial Officer. The Junior Board includes non-literary editors, library editors, opinion editors, an advertising manager, and a business manager.

Mr. Cameron gave a quick overview of the history of The Cavalier Daily before talking about its future direction. He said last year, The Cavalier Daily felt the effects of the economy and saw financial strain and so eliminated its Friday edition. This year, The Cavalier Daily decided to transition to a digital-first newsmagazine. There will be a daily online production of breaking news, quick coverage, more extensive blogging, and online exclusive content. Mr. Cameron said when looking at their target demographic – ages 18 to 24 - it was apparent that most do not read a printed newspaper anymore so they shifted their focus to digital platforms.
