Redbrick is a free weekly newspaper published in term-time by the Guild
of Students at the University of Birmingham. It is distributed on the university campuses at Edgbaston
and Selly Oak.
The paper, which was launched in 1936, is entirely produced by student volunteers,
and funded by advertisers and subsidies; it
has a potential readership of around 20,000.
The content is a mixture of student news and information with
mainstream sections dedicated to sport, fashion and music etc.
Redbrick is also known for challenging and controversial content,
often with a left-wing bias; however, some extreme content, particularly
in relation to the Palestine Question, has been excluded, and now
appears in a radical underground paper, the Radish, which is also
published by university students. |
