The Ubyssey Publications Society

The Ubyssey is the official student newspaper of the University of British Columbia (UBC), serving as the definitive source of news and information for the campus community. Published bi-weekly in print format, The Ubyssey is written, edited, and produced entirely by students, providing a platform for aspiring journalists and writers to hone their skills and gain practical experience.

While primarily focused on campus life and events, The Ubyssey covers a wide range of topics that are relevant to the student body, including family and relationships, sports, culture and society, government and politics, and even home and lifestyle. The newspaper offers diverse content, such as event coverage, opinion editorials, press releases, profile features, and reports on government announcements, ensuring that readers stay informed about the latest happenings both on and off campus.

The Ubyssey serves as a training ground for students interested in journalism, writing, graphic design, and various other aspects of media production. Under the guidance of experienced editors and alumni professionals, students can develop their written and verbal communication skills, acquire technical knowledge, and gain hands-on experience in a real-world publishing environment.

As the largest student newspaper in Western Canada, The Ubyssey plays a vital role in fostering a sense of community and providing a platform for student voices to be heard on matters that concern them.
