Since 1948 The Courier has kept Newcastle University students entertained and informed of the goings-on of the University, as well as launching many successful media careers. Its archives, recently digitised, chart the changes that Newcastle and its university have faced over the past seven decades.

This is an attempt to tell the story of The Courier and its place at the heart of Newcastle University.

I’ve based almost everything written on this site on the papers themselves, and my own experiences working on The Courier. Clearly, this is only one side of the story, and if you have anything to add, correct or query, please get in touch.
