The Boar is the University of Warwick students’ newspaper, published fortnightly on Tuesday. The editorial team is entirely voluntary, and none of the editorial staff are paid.

Although a society of the Union, the paper is editorially independent. It holds Union and University officials to account as well as providing a voice for all University of Warwick students.

The paper has won numerous awards, including five Guardian Student Media Awards and eight National Student Journalism Awards. In 2006, the Boar received 17 nominations in both awards (a record in the history of student media), and won 7.

“A consistently high standard, like a fine regional newspaper with an outstanding magazine. The dedication of the staff to produce this newspaper on a weekly basis is incredible.”
