summary of 'Varsity' newspaper

This is the second student university magazine/newspaper I looked at, Its based in cambridge and unlike the american magazine 'The Sheaf' its set out in a more formal manor, its set in a newspaper style way where as 'The Sheaf' was a magazine and had two sections one of which was set out in a similar way just not as structured.

This paper is a student paper which has been made since 1947, its a weekly paper meaning 21 issues per year are made and is put together by a group of upto 40 students.

It consists of New features, Opinions, Editorial content, Fashion, Reviews, An essential guide to whats on in Cambridge and Reference guides from job application deadlines to saturday night entertainment, this is very similar to 'The Sheaf' and offers things of the same sort.

Its a non-profit free newspaper/magazine and is there to encourage students intrested in journalism, its distributed from Mail rooms, Common rooms, Social area's, departments of extensive subscription lists and uni facilities, up to 10,000 copies are sent out to all 31 colleges in the Cambridge University.

Unlike 'The Sheaf' it hasn't stated any policies it runs by, although I think this is set out in a more interlectual and approachable manor I think for students 'The Sheaf' would be more appealing and draw attention to your eyes more so overall I think its produced excellently and is for a good cause, however personally i'd prefer to read 'The Sheaf'.
