The Boar is the student newspaper of the University of Warwick. Founded in 1973, the paper is published thrice a term, and the website is continually updated. Whilst it is affiliated to the university's Students' Union, the paper is editorially independent. It consists of 16 sections, including News, Sports, and Podcasts.
Contribution to The Boar is entirely voluntary, and none of the approximately 80 editorial staff are paid. Furthermore, the paper does not receive any budget from the Students' Union and therefore relies entirely on self-generated advertising revenue to keep afloat.
In 2013, The Boar was selected as Student Publication of the Year.[1] In 2018, the Boar won the Student Publication of the Year award at BBC Radio 4 Journalism Awards.[2]
