Trinity News is Ireland's oldest student newspaper, published from Trinity College Dublin. It is an independent newspaper, funded by Trinity Publications, which reports on the news and views of the students and staff of Dublin University, and the broader Irish higher education sector. The newspaper was first published in 1953 and is using this date as the first volume that the volume numbers are currently derived.[citation needed]
Published every three weeks, the current sections are News, Features, Comment, SciTech, and Sport, as well as a ‘Life’, a supplement on Dublin student life. The newspaper also has Art, Photography, Video and Podcast departments.[citation needed]
Trinity News has won over 40 awards in its history. [citation needed]
Trinity News was founded by Anthony J. Bolchover, who also served as the chairperson, later known as Editor, for that year. The editorial of the first issue read: “As our name implies, we aim to present news of the Dublin University to as wide a circle as possible of those who have an interest in the University. We shall endeavour to be widely representative, to avoid superfluous comment and to offer news objectively. There has been, we feel, a long want for such a paper. Apart from the efforts of our own staff, news contributions from all undergraduates and graduates will be welcomed for publication. Only this way will Trinity News become the truly democratic newspaper intended by its founders. If in the process, and in the news we present, there results some revival of the collegiate spirit which modern conditions tend to discourage, the newspaper will have justified itself.”[citation needed]
The newspaper is produced exclusively by students of the university under the direction of a student Editor. Due to the increased number of issues and workload, it has become common practice for the editor to take a sabbatical from studies for the year, or take up the position full-time following graduation. Different editors for the Michaelmas term and Hilary term were appointed until 1980, when one editor was appointed for the entire academic year. Throughout its history, Trinity News has varied between electing and appointing editors, with elections taking place in recent years.[citation needed]
In addition to advertising revenue, Trinity News is funded in part by a grant from the Dublin University Publications Committee, but the newspaper has full editorial independence.
Over the years, Trinity News has appeared in both broadsheet and tabloid format. Since the 2018/19 edition, Trinity News has taken tabloid format,[4] consisting of 48 pages, including a 16-page ‘Life’ supplement.
In 2017/18, Trinity News extensively followed several stories which gained national media attention, including protests against the introduction of supplemental exam fees in Trinity and the impeachment of then-UCDSU president Katie Ascough. The newspaper also broke several stories which provoked discussion on campus, including the College Historical Society's decision to award MEP Nigel Farage a gold medal for Outstanding Contribution to Public Discourse, the accidental withdrawal of a student from the university due to administrative errors, and the fining of Students for Justice in Palestine following their protest of a planned talk by the Israeli Ambassador to Ireland, Zeev Boker.[citation needed]
The newspaper has revealed information that provoked controversy and discussion within the college in previous years also. For example, the newspaper demonstrated that students from fee paying secondary schools ware four times more likely to get a place in Trinity in 2016, using data obtained from The Irish Times The previous year, Trinity News learned that teaching assistants of several departments were not paid or received reduced wages for long work hours, and that Trinity had commenced a review of its relationships with third-level institutions in Israel and Palestine.[citation needed]
In 2005, a story published in Trinity News revealed that the American air force was funding a research program in Trinity College. The story caused controversy among students and was reported on in the national press. It was also raised during question time in the Dáil.[citation needed]
Trinity News has won over 40 awards, all of which came in the last 20 years following the establishment of student media awards in Ireland. [citation needed]Most notably, the newspaper has been awarded Newspaper of the Year seven times, Editor of the Year five times, and Layout and Design six times at the Irish Student Media Awards.[citation needed]
Trinity News journalists have also won individual prizes at the Irish Student Media Awards in recent years, including Journalist of the Year, Sports Writer, Best Social and Political Features Writer, Web Designer of the Year, Science Education Correspondent of the Year and Photographer of the Year.[citation needed]
The newspaper has also received accolades from other sources, such as the USI Awards and The Guardian Student Media Awards.
Trinity News journalists have written for national publications such as The Irish Times, The Guardian, BBC, Dublin Inquirer, Jacobin Magazine, RTÉ, the Irish Independent, the UK Independent, the Financial Times, The Sunday Business Post, The New Arab, BuzzFeed, The Phoenix, Newstalk, Storyful and TheJournal.ie.

Trinity College is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge. Founded in 1546 by King Henry VIII, Trinity is one of the largest Cambridge colleges, with the largest financial endowment of any college at Oxford or Cambridge. Trinity has some of the most distinctive architecture in Cambridge with its Great Court said to be the largest enclosed courtyard in Europe. Academically, Trinity performs exceptionally as measured by the Tompkins Table (the annual unofficial league table of Cambridge colleges), coming top from 2011 to 2017, and regaining the position in 2024. Members of Trinity have been awarded 34 Nobel Prizes out of the 126 received by members of the University of Cambridge (more than any other Oxford or Cambridge college). Members of the college have received four Fields Medals, one Turing Award and one Abel Prize. Trinity alumni include Francis Bacon, six British prime ministers (the highest number of any Cambridge college), physicists Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell, Ernest Rutherford and Niels Bohr, mathematicians Srinivasa Ramanujan and Charles Babbage, poets Lord Byron and Lord Tennyson, English jurist Edward Coke, writers Vladimir Nabokov and A. A. Milne, historians Lord Macaulay and G. M. Trevelyan, and philosophers Ludwig Wittgenstein and Bertrand Russell (whom the college expelled before reaccepting). Two members of the British royal family have studied at Trinity and been awarded degrees: Prince William of Gloucester and Edinburgh, who gained an MA degree in 1790, and King Charles III, who was awarded a lower second-class BA degree in 1970. Trinity's many college societies include the Trinity Mathematical Society, the oldest mathematical university society in the United Kingdom, and the First and Third Trinity Boat Club, its rowing club, which gives its name to the May Ball. Along with Christ's, Jesus, King's and St John's colleges, it has provided several well-known members of the Cambridge Apostles, an intellectual secret society. In 1848, Trinity hosted a meeting at which Cambridge undergraduates representing fee-paying private schools codified a set of early rules of football known as the Cambridge rules. Trinity's sister college is Christ Church, Oxford. Trinity has been linked with Westminster School since the school's re-foundation in 1560, and its Master is an ex officio governor of the school.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
