The Other Press has been Douglas
College’s student newspaper since 1976.
Since 1978 we have been an autonomous
publication, independent of the student
union. We are a registered society under
the Society Act of British Columbia,
governed by an eight-person board of
directors appointed by our staff. Our head
office is located in the New Westminster
campus.

The Other Press is published weekly
during the fall and winter semesters, and
monthly during the summer. We receive
our funding from a student levy collected
through tuition fees every semester at
registration, and from local and national
advertising revenue. The Other Press is a
member of the Canadian University Press
(CUP), a syndicate of student newspapers
that includes papers from all across
Canada.

The Other Press reserves the right to
choose what we will publish, and we

will not publish material that is hateful,
obscene, or condones or promotes illegal
activities. Submissions may be edited for
clarity and brevity if necessary. All images
used are copyright to their respective
owners.
