On "Gilmore Girls", Rory becomes editor of which student newspaper at Yale?

At Yale, Rory becomes editor of the Yale Daily News. The position is a major step toward her goal of becoming a professional journalist and a foreign correspondent, a dream inspired in part by her admiration for Christiane Amanpour.

Rory first writes for the newspaper while studying English at Yale. Her path to the top job is unusually complicated: Paris Geller becomes editor before her, but Paris's rigid management style alienates the staff. After the newsroom rebels, Rory is selected as the new editor. She then faces the practical pressure of coordinating stories, managing demanding student journalists, and getting each issue to the printer on time.

The newspaper is not the Stars Hollow Gazette, even though Rory has a strong connection to her hometown and later writes for local publications. Nor is it the Yale Herald or The Franklin. The Yale Daily News is Yale's student newspaper and functions in the series as a training ground for Rory's reporting ambitions. Her editorship also links her story to Paris and Doyle McMaster, both of whom hold leadership roles at the paper.
