Default Birmingham Uni Newspaper ?
 
I'm a prospective student for '09 and wondering if there is a Student-run newspaper.
I'm really interested in getting into journalism, and if I am fortunate enough to go to Birmingham University, I would love to be given the opportunity to write for the student-run newspaper..that is, if there is one.

So, is there one?

Thanks.

Yup, and I think it's one of the oldest uni papers in England actually...

I think you can submit articles online as well now.

Indeed. I was just being specific and pointing out that it is the 5th oldest, which seems quite impressive!

Bordering on the pedantic, but interesting nonetheless.

There's actually two. There's the Redbrick and at the start of next term, there will also be the Sanctuary.

Lizo - being the name of the presenter and an alumnus
Newsround - a children's topical news show that's shown on BBC1 (?) in the afternoons
