Other Student Media At UNSW

Tharunka is one of a number of periodicals that have emerged from the university.

  • Blitz is a weekly, 24 page full-colour campus events guide that evolved from newsletters circulated by the University of New South Wales Union in the 1970s. The name "Blitz" was adopted in mid-1988. In mid-1994, the Union introduced more editorial material to Blitz, hiring former Tharunka editor Alf Conlon to expand the range of content. In 2010, Blitz remains a "What's On" guide with content steered towards providing coverage to on-campus news and events, and also as a conduit of communication for the Student Representative Council. Blitz and Tharunka are now both published by Arc.
  • Students at the university's College of Fine Arts produced regular zines under the titles Xerox Positive, and since 2005, Zing Tycoon' with 'COFAtopia' now launched, which retains the A5 format, "zine" feel.
  • Tharunka contributors were instrumental in the establishment of The Student Leader in 2004.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or media:

    “In the student sensuality is a sluggish habit of mind.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
    —Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
