The Daily Tar Heel is the student newspaper at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and has served the community since it was founded on February 23, 1893. The nonprofit organization, which was incorporated in 1989 as a separate legal entity from UNC, stopped taking student fees in 1993 and has since been funded by advertising revenue, thus making it both fiscally and editorially independent.

What does it take for a newspaper to travel from a writer to your very own hands? Over the course of a single night, The Daily Tar Heel churns out 10,000 copies of the weekly paper. This documentary follows the Tuesday night print cycle — from final print proof in the newsroom, to the printing press, to the streets where one man places each issue in every Blue Box before dawn. Special thanks to Triangle Web Printing Co., Scott Braswell, Santos Rojas, Ricardo Harris and Will Lingo.
