The Nevada Sagebrush is the independent student newspaper of the University of Nevada, Reno. It was founded on October 19, 1893, as The Student Record, against the wishes of the Nevada Board of Regents. In 1910, the name was changed to The Sagebrush and then in 2004, to The Nevada Sagebrush. The newspaper currently releases a digital issue at the end of every month and employs about 10 Nevada students. All six of the university's Pulitzer Prize winners had bylines in The Nevada Sagebrush and five served as staff writers.
