The Daily made national headlines in November 2017 after publishing a series of op-eds written by Camilo A. Caballero, a graduate student at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, which voiced support for a student-led petition to remove former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci from The Fletcher School's Board of Advisors.

"[8] Claiming defamation, Scaramucci threatened to sue the Daily if it did not retract parts of the op-eds and demanded that both the paper and Caballero issue public apologies.

[9] Scaramucci resigned from the Board of Advisors on November 28 after the paper refused to comply with his demands, stating, "I thought it would be better for the school and better for me personally if we parted ways.

The Weekender was later relaunched as part of the paper, rather than an insert, and typically includes a lengthy profile of a local event, exhibition, or artist.

The section regularly profiles Tufts athletes and explores issues and trends in major professional sports in its weekly columns.

The Science section was established in fall 2021 to cover new developments in public health and scientific research on Tufts' campuses, in the greater Boston area and beyond.

[20] In 2022, the section published the results of a months-long investigation into Teaching Assistant pay discrepancies at Tufts, which found that TAs in some departments are vastly underpaid, including at least one below the university minimum wage.

[21] The Daily's opinion section accepts submissions from all members of the Tufts community on any campus, national, or global issue.

The Daily's audio section launched in 2018 and produces multiple podcasts, including The Rewind, Take Town, and A Blight on the Hill.

[23] The Daily's Newsroom Concert Series, featuring performances from Tufts' own Veronica Stewart-Frommer of Melt and the members of Emperor Jones, was launched in spring 2022.

The business department is responsible for print, digital, social media, and newsletter advertisement sales, supplying the Daily's main source of income.
