Student Press in Ireland
There is a thriving student media scene in Ireland. Each year the best publications in the field are recognised in the National Student Media Awards. Only three papers have ever claimed the title of Best Newspaper at the awards: Trinity News and The University Times, based in Trinity College Dublin and Ireland's oldest surviving student newspaper, and The University Observer, based in University College Dublin. The National Student Media Awards also caters for other student media, such as radio shows, short films, and student magazine (such as University College Cork's Motley Magazine.
Other notable student newspapers include The College View (based in Dublin City University), An Focal (University of Limerick), UCC Express (University College Cork) and Sin Newspaper ('Student Independent News', based in NUI Galway).
Most student newspapers in Ireland are published by the local students union in their college; some of these (such as The University Observer) are given editorial independence from the SU. A small number, including Trinity News and UCD's College Tribune, are both financially and editorially independent.

Famous quotes containing the words student, press and/or ireland:
“When our kids are young, many of us rush out to buy a cute little baby book to record the meaningful events of our young child’s life...But I’ve often thought there should be a second book, one with room to record the moral milestones of our child’s lives. There might be space to record dates she first shared or showed compassion or befriended a new student or thought of sending Grandma a get-well card or told the truth despite its cost.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“Ah stay, my heart, the weight
of lovers, of loneliness
drowns me,
alas that their very names
so press to break my heart
with heart-sick weariness.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
“Out of Ireland have we come,
Great hatred, little room
Maimed us at the start.
I carry from my mother’s womb
A fanatic’s heart.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
