The Daily Targum Funding
The Daily Targum is an independent, student-written and managed newspaper that is published by the Targum Publishing Company with a circulation throughout the Rutgers community. The newspaper is published in print Monday through Thursday and online Monday through Friday while classes are in session during the fall and spring semesters. Due to the results of the 2019 referendum, the refund process will no longer be in effect as Rutgers students will no longer have the option to fund the Targum through their student term bills. Students with further questions about the Targum's current status or how the paper maintains funding can reach out to business@dailytargum.com to learn more.
