What makes The Paisano an independent newspaper?

The Paisano operates without oversight or financial assistance from UTSA. We are entirely self-funded and do not rely on any university programs for funding, except for any advertising bookings they make with us. Our independence extends to all aspects of our operations. The Paisano operates under The Paisano Educational Trust, a 501(c)(3) non–profit organization.
