''Catalyst'' is a student magazine published at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology in Melbourne, Australia. The magazine is produced by the RMIT Student Union. ''Catalyst'' appears six times a year and had a readership of approximately 58,000 in 2009〔 - up from 15,000 in 2004. The implementation of voluntary student unionism in 2006 had a significant impact on the viability of student newspapers across Australia, compulsory student union membership fees having been the major source of income for most. Today, ''Catalyst's'' funding is drawn jointly from the university and advertising revenue. ''Catalyst'' benefits from its proximity to the RMIT School of Media and Communication, which runs a highly regarded journalism program. In turn ''Catalyst'' alumni are active in the Australian media. The first edition of ''Catalyst'', published by what was known then as the RMIT Students’ Representative Council (later RMIT Student Union) appeared on 18 May 1944. Editions have also appeared under the names ''Revolution Catalyst'' and ''The Unaustralian''. Prior to funding losses, due to the onset of Voluntary Student Unionism, a womyn's edition called ''Havoc'', a queer edition called ''Mutiny'' and an environment edition called ''Eccocentric'' were also published, between 1995 and 1998. Recent former editors of ''Catalyst'' include journalists Dewi Cooke, Dan Harrison (both now with ''The Age''), Patricia Karvelas of ''The Australian'' and Elizabeth Gallagher.〔 The logo and general style of ''Catalyst'' often changes dramatically each year, when a new editorial team takes over. == Art of Shoplifting controversy == In 1995, ''Catalyst'' reprinted a controversial article from ''Rabelais Student Media'', its La Trobe University counterpart, entitled ''(The Art of Shoplifting )'' – one of seven student newspapers to do so. Although the ''Rabelais'' editors responsible for the original article were prosecuted for ignoring the ban on its publication issued by the state's Chief Censor; the editors of the other seven newspapers were not targeted by the authorities. Charges against the ''Rabelais'' editors were later dropped. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Catalyst (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
