The Yellow Journal

The character of the sheet can be best gathered from its motto, which is one of Mark Twain's witticisms: Truth is precious--therefore economize with it.

In 1986, The Yellow Journal, or "YJ", was resurrected as a university-funded, student-run publication, published three times per semester.

During this period, the Journal featured the early work of underground cartoonists Jen Sorensen and M. Wartella, among others.

[6] The program was debating the Supreme Court case of Rosenberger v. University of Virginia,[7] and the constitutionality of whether a government-funded school had the authority to withhold funding from the Christian publication Wide Awake while simultaneously granting funding to other publications such as The Yellow Journal, "a humor magazine that has targeted Christianity as a subject of satire."

The current incarnation is similar to the original run in that it features fake news and centers on life at the university.
