Hi and welcome to UoL Press!
We’re UoL Press, we manage Leicester Student News, the latest iteration of student news at the University of Leicester — and we aim to carry on the legacy laid out by our peers.
Previously known as The Ripple and Galaxy Press, Leicester Student News is the university's oldest and greatest news outlet. Whether you're interested in gaining valuable experience for a future career in journalism or media, you have a love for writing, or you simply want your voice heard on campus, becoming a member of Leicester Student Magazine society gives you the ability to write about the things you care about.
No previous experience is necessary! We are looking for keen writers to contribute to our website available online in News, Arts & Culture, Lifestyle and Opinion, as well as fiction, poetry, interviews and Feature pieces. On top of constructive feedback and guidance from our editorial team with developing ideas, members will be invited to all of our various socials, trips and talks from industry professionals.
Student journalism at the University of Leicester has a proud history, and we have big shoes to fill - but we intend to fill them well. Strong student journalism is vital to the culture of our university.
We hold weekly editorial meetings, which all members can attend. Find us during Freshers' week for more info.
