The Prince is created and published by around 200 students, and is independently managed by students and a graduate Board of Trustees (mostly former Prince editors and staffers). It is self-funded, primarily from advertising revenue, without support from the University, and has an annual budget over $600,000. The print circulation is about 2,000, complemented by some 30,000 daily hits on its website, live since 1998.
In 2006, The Prince archives were digitized and indexed, and its 138-year publishing history is available online.
