Nouse (/ˈnuːz/ NOOZ; Ancient Greek: nous, meaning intellect, or common sense; also the local River Ouse)[2] is a student newspaper and website at the University of York. It is the oldest registered society of, and funded by, the University of York Students' Union.[3] Nouse was founded in 1964 by student Nigel Fountain,[4] some twenty years before its rival York Vision. The newspaper is printed three times a term, with frequent website updates in between print runs.

Unlike many other university newspapers, which have sabbatical editors, Nouse′s staff is made up entirely of current students.

It has changed dramatically in outlook and presentation over the years, being known at one point as the Nouse Co-operative or NouseCoop, and presenting itself as a samizdat publication throughout the 1980s[citation needed]. In its current incarnation, Nouse is a politically left-of-centre paper. The last edition of the 2006–07 academic year was printed in full-size broadsheet format, but it is now printed in tabloid format.

In the last few years Nouse has become one of the university's largest media societies, picking up multiple nominations and wins in the National Student Journalism Awards and Guardian Student Media Awards.[5][6]

The Borthwick Institute for Archives at the University of York Library has an archive of Nouse editions that stretches back to the first edition 1964.[7]

Content

The main paper contains news, comment, a politics section, a business section, a science section and a campus sport section.

The Muse supplement includes features, interviews, columns, arts, fashion, music, film, gaming, and food and drink pages.

The website holds an archive of the printed pieces from 2005, as well as publishing content such as breaking news, sports results, live coverage of campus events and other features not in the print edition.

Supplements

Through the year Nouse publishes four supplements:

  • Roses Supplement: A guide to the annual sports tournament against Lancaster
  • London Fashion Week Supplement: A guide to the Autumn/Winter Collections at London Fashion Week (LFW). Nouse has been covering LFW since 2011, and in 2013 covered more than 40 shows with a team of ten writers and photographers.
  • Freshers' Supplement: A guide to the university for new students.
  • Special Supplement: This varies from year to year, but in the past has been a student travel supplement (2011) and a book supplement (2012).

Events

In 2012 the paper began Nouse Events, a new events series. Speakers included George Galloway[8] and Jeremy Paxman.[9] In 2013, this became the York Union,[10] which has attracted speakers including Baroness Scotland,[11] Jon Snow, Alastair Campbell, Peter Tatchell [12] and Mark Lawson.
