University of Northumbria

University Radio Station:: Newcastle Student Radio

This is shared between Northumbria and Newcastle universities. It broadcasts on 107.5FM and gains two licences per year. These are for a month each but the station is active for the rest of the time organising and planning. They have a very varied mix of music, as is typical for student radio, and provide news on travel and weather. It's probably fair to say that they have more chart music than anything else, although there will be a lot more R&B and soul in the coming year.

Campus Publications:: Newcastle Student

Another shared entity, this is a fortnightly paper that has not very interesting news and events. You also have to pay for it. Cheek!

Incite

This magazine replaces the newspaper that went before it. The Courier has given way to a more stylish publication. It carries articles on local news and information on the university. They have a big section on ents and some games and puzzles. The political nature of The Courier has not been continued in Incite and this makes it a lot easier to read. One of the best features is the photo gallery of student flats. Not for the squeamish!
