SECTIONS NEWS

Respecting our readers

No other Scottish freesheet offers the range and depth of news coverage found in the Journal, whether it be original investigations in the local community, reporting the latest developments in higher education, or providing insight and context on the biggest stories of the day. The Journal has ‘scooped’ major news outlets like the BBC and secured interviews with top personalities the result of all this hard work is that our stories are frequently picked up by other organisations on television and online.

SPORT

Part of the community

The Journal is dedicated to reporting the full range of sport on offer in Edinburgh, which students put so much of their money and time towards participating in and following. Our match reports – bound by the same professional standards as all other sections of the publication are backed up by interviews with and opinion from personalities in sport, whether on the local, national or international level.

ARTS

A guide for Scotland’s cutting-edge

Students are at the forefront of trends in music, performance, art and fashion, and drive the nightlife of any city. Edinburgh is no different, and The Journal puts together a selection of the best on offer for its readers. With increased involvement from local venues bars, restaurants, clubs and stores, there are no limits on the potential future growth for our coverage.

COMMENT

Bringing the world to students

The Journal’s Comment & Features section has become a forum for Scottish political debate, with the leaders of all the major Scottish political parties writing for the newspaper in the past year. With opinion pieces from top academics, leading politicians, and campaigners of all stripes, the Journal’s comment section elevates the publication to the level of the nation’s top mainstream dailies whilst offering content that no other freesheet can offer.
