Wikipedia / The College View

The College View is Dublin City University’s independent student newspaper, run voluntarily by students affiliated to DCU's Media Production Society. The newspaper was first published in 1999 after changing its name from The Bullsheet, its predecessor.

The College View has seven sections – News, Opinions and Features, Irish & Lang, Satire & Cartoons, Sports, Lifestyle and The HYPE (Arts). The sections cover everything from DCU student issues to national student issues, humour and satire to life through the eyes of students, as well as extensive sports coverage and analysis. The Irish & Lang section is written and edited by students interested in both Irish and Languages alike.

The newspaper is circulated among 12,000 students as well as DCU lecturers and staff.

History

The College View was founded in 1999, and went under the name of The Bullsheet, a reference to the other DCU publication An Tarbh, for a while. The newspaper has changed layout several times during its history. It has always been tabloid-size. In January 2022 The College View affiliated with the DCU Media Production Society.

Administration

The newspaper is run entirely voluntarily and is affiliated to the DCU Media Production Society. In addition to advertising revenue, The College View is funded by a grant from the Society Life Committee, however the newspaper remains fully independent.

Supplements

The HYPE is the arts supplement of The College View. It was previously named the Suss until the 2017/18 academic year. It was previously named Flux where it won magazine of the year at the 2010 Student Media Awards. The arts supplement was previously named The Attic, having been renamed in 2009/10.

The Look was a fashion supplement produced in conjunction with the DCU Style Society in the past; however, is now published independently.

The Bill O'Herlihy Cup

The Bill O'Herlihy Cup is an annual five-a-side football match held every year between The College View and DCUfm.

The game is a yearly tradition each April at Dublin City University between the rival student newspaper and radio station.

Founded in 2010, the game is named after broadcaster and journalist Bill O'Herlihy.

The Cork native covered numerous World Cups, European Championships and Olympic Games for RTÉ and is considered one of the greatest-ever Irish sports broadcasters. O'Herlihy died in May 2015.

The Bill O'Herlihy Cup was named in his honour. O'Herlihy presented the trophy on one occasion during a visit to Dublin City University and was interviewed by DCUfm about his career in media and broadcasting afterwards.
