The Student is a fortnightly independent newspaper produced by students at the University of Edinburgh. It held the title of Best Student Newspaper in Scotland, awarded by the Herald Student Press Awards in 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2010. It also won the Student Publication Association 'Best Publication Award' 2024.[1]
The newspaper has been independent of the university since 1992, and has formally maintained a commercial agreement with the Edinburgh University Students' Association, however this agreement was severed to maintain editorial independence[1]. Since September 2017, the paper has been produced on a fortnightly, rather than weekly, basis.
The newspaper is produced by volunteers, who fit this work around their studies. The newspaper is distributed on a Wednesday and usually consists of 32 pages. It has a physical circulation of 2,500 copies per issue and is read by some 30,000 people in Edinburgh.[2]
