The Gazette is the student newspaper at the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada and it is owned and published by the University Students' Council. The Gazette publishes online daily, in print Tuesdays and Thursdays, and a magazine twice a semester during the fall and winter semesters.

History

The Gazette began in 1906 as a hand-written literature newspaper called In Cap And Gown. The paper was not actually produced in newsprint until 1908. The Gazette adopted its current name in 1930.

The Gazette moved from weekly to twice per week in 1948. It started publishing four times a week in 1991 and returned to the twice-weekly format in 2015. The paper's large staff (three full-time supervising editors, 20 section editors and dozens of volunteers, plus a full-time advertising and composing department) makes this publication schedule possible.

Editorial Board

The editorial board is made of volunteer students and full-time staff. The Editor-in-Chief, Digital Managing Editor and Print Managing Editor are full-time salaried employees, usually recent graduates. The remaining editors are full-time students who volunteer and receive an honorarium per issue published. There are typically 22 to 24 editors in total.
