Leicester Student Magazine is the student newspaper at the University of Leicester, England. The publication operates almost entirely online, covering local and university-centered news, as well as arts, entertainment, lifestyle, fictional works and student opinion articles.
Leicester Student Magazine, under previous names, has featured a wide range of interviews with high-profile figures throughout its history, from Robert Mugabe and Yasser Arafat[1] to more recent public figures such as Aaron Porter, Peter Soulsby and Dr Alex George.
The President, a position assumed by Grace Robinson from Ella Johnson in July 2022, is elected by the magazine's student members and oversees the editorial team and elected committee. The committee is elected by magazine members via the University of Leicester Students' Union and primarily oversee day-to-day operations including external liaison, social media management and student membership, while the internally-elected editorial board seek to offer guidance and support to student writers of varying experience and ability.
