The Old Gold & Black is the student-run newspaper of Wake Forest University, named after the school's colors. The newspaper was founded in 1916 and is published every Thursday with the exception of school holidays and exam weeks. The Old Gold & Black's office is located on the fifth floor of the Benson University Center on Wake Forest's main campus.

The newspaper is Wake Forest University's only student newspaper, and serves as the printed history of the university. It comprises four main sections: news, opinion, sports and life. Each section is managed by an editor and assistant editors. In addition, the Old Gold & Black employs a photo and web editor. They are all under the leadership of an editor-in-chief and managing editors for print and online. These editors form the editorial board which meets weekly to discuss campus issues, compose a left-hand editorial and decide on the paper's content.

The Old Gold & Black employs graphic designers, production assistants, photographers and staff writers. The majority of positions at the Old Gold & Black are paid, though a new writer must submit three articles for publication in order to receive pay and become a staff writer. The Old Gold & Black consistently employs a total staff of over 100 members, the majority of them writers.

The Old Gold & Black is an award-winning newspaper, having placed many times at Associated Collegiate Press conferences.
