Hundreds of copies of the October 23, 2023, edition of The Daily Northwestern were tampered with in the past two days, with a false “front page” placed over The Daily’s print edition, resulting in the campus-wide distribution of stories, headlines, graphics and photos that were neither produced nor sanctioned by our newsroom nor anyone else affiliated with our organization. We understand that the content was upsetting to a significant portion of our readership, on campus and beyond.

We cannot say this any more plainly: We reject and condemn this act of vandalism, and we have engaged law enforcement to investigate and find those responsible.

If anyone wants to share their views with our Northwestern and Evanston communities in The Daily Northwestern, you are invited to submit a letter to the editor. We are justifiably proud of the diverse viewpoints that we have published for nearly 150 years. And we intend for that to continue long into the future.
