Nouse is a student newspaper at the University of York.Founded in 1964, some twenty years before its rival York Vision, it is seen as the more 'upmarket' of the two newspapers. Nouse comes out three times a term and has a readership of 10,000.
It has changed dramatically in outlook and presentation over the years, being known at one point as the Nouse Co-operative or NouseCoop, and presenting itself as a samizdat publication throughout the 1980s. The name Nouse dervies from the Greek word Nous and the River Ouse.
In last few years Nouse has become one of the University's largest media societies, picking up multiple nominations and wins in the Mirror and Guardian Student Media Awards.
2005 saw the paper claim the top prize of Best Student Newspaper category at the Mirror awards, and runner-up at the Guardian. They were also the only newspaper to be nominated in the design category for the Mirror awards. In 2006 Nouse was nominated for Best Student Newspaper for the Guardian Student Media Awards and the NUS Student Media Awards, as well as another Guardian nomination for Best Publication Design.
The first edition and many others can still be viewed in the Borthwick Institute at York University Library
