The DailyER

The paper was started by Carson Vaughan, who also served as its first editor. The paper's fight and eventual victory in becoming a UNL-sanctioned newspaper created much fanfare within the Lincoln community. Other editors for The DailyER have included John Rincon, Jacob Zlomke, Mitch McCann, Alex Wunrow, Tyler Keown, Colin Loberg, Drew Preston, Kellie Wasikowski, Matt Rothgeb, Maggie Rieckman, Liam Spieker, and Brian Streeter. In 2009, the paper went into a brief hiatus because of funding, but hosted a concert in Omaha to help pay for publishing costs. ==Content==

The paper contains fake news stories ranging from local and campus issues, to national and international issues. The DailyER contains political, economic, social and sports stories. It also contains a serious entertainment section titled Seeds Entertainment, much like The Onion with The A.V. Club. The editors of The DailyER keep in contact with The Onion editors, using them to aid in finding sources for stories. ==Controversy==

One complaint about the newspaper came about from an early article that contained the prophets Mohammad and Jesus fighting for scripture sales. The Muslim student organization of UNL complained about the article to University officials. The DailyER also frequently publishes controversial content regarding suspect University policies such as the Board of Regent's budget cuts and University firings. It also publishes many controversial articles about the University of Nebraska–Lincoln's athletics department, particularly former Nebraska Cornhuskers head football coach Bo Pelini. The DailyER was nearly shut down by University Publications officials when a satirical article was published lampooning former Defensive Coordinator Carl Pelini as having an alleged affair. The article has since been removed from The DailyER archives. ==See also==
