Mancunion
Mancunion is the appropriately named SU newspaper for the University. It includes all the higher-brow student sections such as politics and current affairs feaures but mixes it up with some gossip and a large, in fact almost exhaustive, popular music section.
Student Direct
A weekly tabloid newspaper edited by an elected sabbatical officer and written by students. The paper is distributed free to students throughout the Manchester area including the newly combined UMIST and Manchester University, Salford University, and Manchester Metropolitan University. The circulation is about 50,000 with slightly varied editions for each site. You can also look at Student Direct's updated website at www.student-direct.co.uk - it's not a bad way of accessing a bit more 'unofficial information'.
