Illini Media

n.
The independent media company that is not affiliated with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, but is in charge of the student radio station, the Daily Illini, and the yearbook, the Illio.

I'm going to work for the Daily Illini so it will look good on my journalism resume.

Daily Illini

n.
The daily, free paper run by Illini Media and available at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The DI is notoriously known for its democratic and pro-Palestine bias, and can be referred to as the "Democratic Illini." Most students read it simply to see the Opinion's columns and because it's free. The DI is often called a "cut and paste" newspaper because plenty of its front page coverage is AP articles. It offers, however, great coverage of the Urbana-Champaign area.

I picked up the Daily Illini to read the article on John Kerry being the modern equivalent of John F. Kennedy.

University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

The university in Urbana and Champaign that is in the Big Ten. The U of I offers many great programs, but its greatest is the engineering program, which attracts students from all around the country.

I'm going to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to study Environmental Engineering.
