History
The newspaper, still in its infancy compared to more established University newspapers and the weekly The Courier at Newcastle University, began life as a 20-page first issue in May 2004 - the only issue of that academic year - under founding editor Katherine Graham. The team produced a magazine version of Northumbria Student over the Summer holidays which was sent out to all freshers starting at Northumbria University that September. Graham edited two further editions of an extended 28-page format before leaving to join NSR fm. In the academic year 2004-05 there were four issues, including a January issue which was the first under the joint editorship of Sarah Bailey and Steven Martin. In 2005-06 the role of unpaid and part-time editor was integrated into the annual NSU elections for the first time, as a 'non-executive' position, with Ged Howard being elected. The following academic year the newspaper received more support from Union staff and used the Students' Union website to recruit regular writers.
Northumbria Student ceased publication at the end of the 2008 academic year. It was replaced by a monthly current affairs magazine named 'Nu:Life'.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All things are moral. That soul, which within us is a sentiment, outside of us is a law. We feel its inspiration; out there in history we can see its fatal strength.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The custard is setting; meanwhile
I not only have my own history to worry about
But am forced to fret over insufficient details related to large
Unfinished concepts that can never bring themselves to the point
Of being, with or without my help, if any were forthcoming.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
