The Queen's Journal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Queen's Journal, or simply The Journal, is the main student-run newspaper at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. It was established in 1873, making it one of the oldest student newspapers in Canada. It is also as old as the Harvard Crimson, the oldest continuously published student newspaper in the United States. The Journal is published twice a week, usually on Tuesdays and Fridays.

The paper maintains a friendly rivalry with the humour paper on campus, Golden Words. This is best exemplified by the annual publication of a fake edition of The Journal, containing outlandish stories, by Golden Words.

Journal alumni can be found working for several of Canada's major newspapers and media outlets. Notable names include Toronto Star Editor Giles Gherson, Ottawa Citizen Editor Scott Anderson and The Globe and Mail's Report on Business Editor John Stackhouse.
