The Darlingtonian began in 1916 as a student-run school newspaper. It was widely-read until its discontinuation. The publication was later restored as an online newspaper. In 2014, the publication experienced an overhaul and in 2015, it experienced another. Also, for the first time in several years, the Darlingtonian plans to return to the hands of students directly as a printed publication with this online edition as a counterpart. The duality of the Darlingtonian’s publication is a development in its history.

Contributors include the Student Publications After-School Activity, the Intro to Media Arts, Sports and Arts Media, and Advanced Media: Yearbook classes. Specific staff positions and roles can be found on the “Staff” page of the Darlingtonian Online under “About”.
