Papers rustling. Footsteps echoing through twisting hallways. Sleepy students sipping coffee on the escalator. It must be September at the University of Winnipeg again.

But, could that rustling paper be ... newsprint?

That’s right, my friends. We’re back on campus for another school year, which means The Uniter is back in print!

If you’re new here (or if you’re not new, but the last two-and-a-half years were spent in remote lectures and hiding in your hobbit hole trying to avoid a raging pandemic), The Uniter is an independent campus and community newspaper based at the University of Winnipeg. We’ve been kicking around since 1947. We publish weekly during the academic year, and we’re always free.

After two-and-a-half years of mostly publishing exclusively online at uniter.ca, we’re thrilled to be back in print on the U of W campus. We’re a learning paper, so in addition to keeping you informed of all the goings-on in downtown Winnipeg and on campus, we also want to give you an opportunity to share your own work and get published. Are you interested in getting into journalistic writing? Arts criticism? Photography or illustration? Come work with us! We’re always on the lookout for new volunteer contributors, and we also have some open staff positions, as well.

We look forward to serving and informing our readership for another exciting year.
