      • The Strathclyde Telegraph is a student newspaper which was founded in 1960 and is edited, written and produced by students at the University of Strathclyde. It is the University of Strathclyde’s only printed student newspaper and is produced on campus.
      The newspaper aims to provide students with experience in their areas of interest and act as a platform for members to gain valuable experience in submitting and editing for print and online. It also strives to serve the Strathclyde community as an outlet to inform students, and to cover cultural events of significance in the university, the city of Glasgow, and beyond.
      There are two print editions of the newspaper published per year - one in May and one in November. The website is updated regularly, and is the main outlet used by the publication.
