The Paisano
（重定向自Paisano）
The Paisano is the independent student-run newspaper of the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). It was established in 1981 and publishes 7,000 copies weekly. "Paisano" is a Spanish and Italian word for "fellow countryman."
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. The office for the newspaper is located at 14545 Roadrunner Way, across the street from the Main UTSA campus.
