The Paisano (Spanish for "fellow countryman") is the independent student-run newspaper of the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA).[2] It was established in 1981 and published its first issue on January 13 of the same year.[3] The Paisano is the only independent student newspaper in the University of Texas System and one of approximately one dozen independent student newspapers in the nation.[4]

The newspaper is published once a week except during exam and holiday periods. Because it is student-run and independent from University administration, The Paisano is written completely by unpaid volunteers, with advertisements helping to support the costs associated with printing and distributing. The Paisano won a gold medal in 2000 from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association.[5] In 2005 SA Current magazine named The Paisano the Best College Newspaper in San Antonio.[6] The office for the newspaper is located at 14526 Roadrunner Way, across the street from the Main UTSA campus.[7]
