"Redbrick" is the student newspaper of the University of Birmingham. It is produced weekly during term by the Guild of Students and has potentially 20 000 readers.

"Redbrick" is written, photographed, edited and published entirely by University students, and is run not for profit, funded by both advertising revenue and the Guild of Students. The newspaper celebrated its 70th birthday and 1300th issue in late 2006.

The new editorial team for 2008-9 include Jess Kim as Editor, with Hannah Green and Sarah Blackaby as Deputy Editors.

It is distributed free around campus and local area in all weathers by dedicated students.

It is closely linked to the other media groups at the Guild of Students: BurnFM.com, Guild Television (GTV) and PhotoSoc.

In summer 1972, just after the Gay Liberation Front yearly conference, held in the Guild of Students, Redbrick published a controversial article entitled 'Who's a Wanker?' which described practical aspects of homosexuality, a highly controversial matter then. The issue ran out and had to be reprinted. Simultaneously, it was reported to the Press Council because of that article, and it was subsequently withdrawn.
