The Voice Magazine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Student media at Athabasca University is provided by the official AU student publication The Voice Magazine. Previously printed and mailed to students across Canada, the magazine, since 2001, is published exclusively online in HTML and PDF format. It is the only student paper in Canada to be published exclusively online, and publishes more issues per year (49 in total) than any other member of the Canadian University Press (CUP). Readers may subscribe and receive email notification when each issue is released.

All submissions to the Voice are provided by freelance writers, most of whom are AU students. The website receives around 5000 visitors per month, and readers include AU undergraduates, graduate students, faculty and staff.

Every January, the Voice publishes a "Best Of" issue, featuring a selection of the most popular articles from the previous year.

A popular service of The Voice is the yearly writing contest, which offers a scholarship prize of $500 for the best student submissions in each the fiction and non-fiction categories. In its third year, the contest is highly anticipated every fall.
