The College Tribune is University College Dublin’s independent student newspaper, produced without any day-to-day funding from the university or the Students’ Union.
Founded in 1989 at the instigation of Vincent Browne, the students have since produced 21 volumes of the paper. They look after every step of the process from writing the stories, captions and headlines to taking the photographs, getting the advertising, doing the layout and preparing the files for printing.
Over those years the paper has gone from being pasted onto cardboard flats and delivered to the printer by courier, to being sent to press over the internet.
This collection gives a taste of each editorial reign with samples of the news, features, sport and social life that filled the paper that year. These have been selected by the editors themselves and show how much college life has changed and how in some ways it never does. This is an essential memento for anyone who attended the university between 1989 and 2008.
