The Badger is the award-winning weekly newspaper of the University of Sussex's Student's Union.
The paper has a weekly circulation of around 1800 available to students and staff at the university during term-time, covering news and sport on campus, as well as comment pieces, features, lifestyle and arts coverage. It also publishes content online.
It is one of three student media outlets at the University, alongside the student TV station UniTV and URF, the student radio station.
The Badger launched in March 1994, having formerly been known as Unionews since the 1970s. The paper has since covered a variety of stories, including several on-campus occupations and the expulsion of five Sussex students for involvement in protests.
To date, The Badger is the only print and online newspaper that serves the University of Sussex.
The Badger has been nominated and won awards by the Student Publication Association, a body for student newspapers in the United Kingdom and Ireland, including winning an award for Best Sports Coverage in 2014 and with a former editor being highly commended for their Outstanding Achievement award in 2016.
This year, The Badger has been nominated for Best Sports Coverage and for Best Comment/Opinion Piece.
