The News Record is the thrice-weekly, independent student news organization at the University of Cincinnati. From covering the latest news on campus and in Cincinnati to reviewing the best (and worst) in entertainment, The News Record is the voice of UC’s student population.

With three methods of getting the word out, The News Record is the premier way on campus to immerse yourself in the ultimate journalism experience. Our broadsheet edition is published every Monday and Thursday and focuses on hard news and campus coverage. With more than 80 stands on UC’s various campuses and a circulation of more than 7,000 per issue, The News Record reaches a wide audience base to inform on the latest in news, sports, entertainment, living, opinion and more.

In addition, our Wednesday TNR Extra edition overflows with the latest in extended sports, entertainment and feature coverage. As a companion to the broadsheet, TNR Extra offers a way for reporters and photographers to develop a voice and explore the alternative-news weekly format.

Newsrecord.org combines the coverage from both print editions and exclusive online content for a continuous stream of information. Our multimedia coverage gives videographers the opportunity to develop engaging video, slideshow and audio pieces to provide readers with the ultimate viewing experience.

The News Record is always looking for new contributors, and as a part of the news organization, you’ll have an experience unlike any other. From reporting breaking news and crime to captivating an audience with feature writing or shooting photos from the sidelines of the latest Bearcat game, The News Record staff has the opportunity to produce one of the top newspapers in the country. The experience gained at the newspaper has given staff members the chance to earn internships at prestigious publications like the Oregonian, the Chicago Sun-Times, the Reno Gazette-Journal, the Evansville Courier & Press, the Cincinnati Enquirer, CityBeat, the Dayton Daily News and Wired.com.
