The Other Press

The Other Press

"The Other Press" is the independent student newspaper of Douglas College, a multi-campus community college in British Columbia.

The Other Press has been in print since 1976. Originally named "The Press," it is a relatively prominent student newspaper in Canada, having a wide readership on the Canadian University Press (CUP) website. It is also one of British Columbia's oldest student publications. College newspapers are nearly always training vehicles for journalism majors under the supervision of faculty members; the Other Press is highly unusual (and perhaps unique) in the sense that Douglas College has no journalism department and its campus newspaper is produced entirely by students (plus whichever community members choose to become involved).

Since 1978 "The Other Press" has been formally published through the Other Publications Society, an independent publishing group whose sole function is to publish the "Other Press." The OP differents from many other student newspapers in that the Other Publications Society is not dependent upon student union funding, and is instead paid for with a levy taken directly from students. Attempts for the Other Publications Society to create additional projects, such as the "Otherthan" poetry magazine, have failed.
