WHO WE ARE

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 and from 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 tutition fees every semester at

no

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.
