The Badger newspaper is the University of Sussex’s best (and only) Student Newspaper!

The paper has a monthly circulation, distributing thousands of copies to students and staff at the University during term time. It covers news and sports on campus, as well as opinion pieces, features, local life, and arts coverage. The paper has been running for over 50 years, once called ‘Union News’ until it changed to its iconic Badger icon and name.

The paper has gone through its ups and downs in recent years, but has come back better than ever, winning five national awards at the Student Publication Association Awards 2024.

Meet the 2025- 2026 Team!
