The Miami Student is the official student-published newspaper at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, published weekly every Tuesday during the academic year. It claims to be the oldest university newspaper in the United States, claiming it was established in 1826. However, 1826 is the date of the establishment of Miami's first student-run periodical, The Literary Focus. The Miami Student itself began publication on May 8, 1867.[2]
