What is the name of Rory's student newspaper at Yale?

Rory's student newspaper at Yale is the Yale Daily News. The newspaper is Yale University's independent daily student publication, and it plays a recurring role in Rory's college storyline on Gilmore Girls.

Rory joins the paper after arriving at Yale and eventually works alongside Paris Geller, who becomes one of the newspaper's editors. Their newsroom rivalry and collaboration add another layer to their complicated friendship. Rory's journalism ambitions also connect the paper to her larger dream of becoming a professional reporter.

The Yale Daily News was founded in 1878, making it one of the oldest college daily newspapers in the United States. It is commonly shortened to the Yale News, but that informal wording should not be confused with the publication's full name. The Yale Herald is a different Yale student newspaper, while The New York Times is a national newspaper rather than a campus publication.

In the series, the paper helps show Rory adapting to Yale's demanding academic and extracurricular culture. It also introduces characters such as Doyle McMaster, who becomes closely connected to Paris.
