The Link is an independent, student-run, not-for-profit multi-media publication at Concordia University. The Link publishes a bi-weekly newspaper every other Tuesday during the fall and winter semesters, and publishes online daily through its website.
From 1999 until 2017, The Link published weekly on each Tuesday. In the spring of 2017, The Link and its members voted to transition to a monthly magazine format, and the first issue was published on September 5, 2017. This later changed back in September 2022, The Link reverting to a tabloid format—albeit biweekly.
The Link's mandate is to publish stories not usually covered by mainstream media, and the publication specializes in advocacy journalism.[2] Contributors cover stories about student life, as well as local, national and international issues of interest to the Concordia and Montreal communities. The Link has also established an apparent partnership with the widely criticized anti-Israel and Holocaust denial group Independent Jewish Voices through a June 12, 2024 article, co-authored by the group, opposing the IHRA definition of antisemitism, which has been adopted by both Canada and Quebec.[3]
Its revenue comes from a student fee-levy and both print and online advertising.
