About
Redbrick is the student newspaper of the University of Birmingham. Originally titled Guild News, the newspaper was renamed Redbrick in 1962. As with most student newspapers Redbrick is not fully independent due to funding arrangements, but is editorially independent as is set out in its charter.
Redbrick is written, photographed, edited and published entirely by University students, and is run not for profit, funded by both advertising revenue and the Guild of Students. It consists of news, comment and features, arts, music, lifestyle, film, television, and sport sections. Food, travel and technology sections appear on a three week rotation. A sport supplement titled The Lion is published biannually.
The newspaper is produced weekly during term time, with the exception of the summer semester as publication halts during exam season. The newspaper is to celebrate its 75th birthday in February this year. The paper is distributed free around campus and the local area every Friday, and has potentially 28,000 readers.
