The Yale News published its first edition on January 28, 1878, with its first editors citing the dullness of the times and demand for news as justification.

The inaugural edition of the Yale News appeared on January 28, 1878. In it, the newspaper's first editors wrote: "The innovation which we begin by this morning's issue is justified by the dullness of the times, and the demand for news among us." The paper is published by students at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, and has appeared since 1878. The supplied passages do not identify the specific building where the edition was produced; the legacy hint of Connecticut Hall remains unverified.
