''Cherwell'' ( ) is an independent newspaper, largely published for students of Oxford University. First published in 1920, it has had an online edition since 1996. Named after the local river, ''Cherwell'' is published by OSPL (Oxford Student Publications Ltd.), who also publish the sister publication ''Isis'' along with the ''Bang!'' science magazine, ''Industry'' fashion magazine and freshers' magazine ''Keep Off the Grass''. One of the oldest student publications in the UK, it is editorially independent and has been the launching pad for many well known journalistic and business careers. The newspaper has a commercial business team, receives no university funding and is independent of the student union. The current editors are Tom Barrie and Oliver Johnson.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cherwell staff, Trinity 2015 )〕 ==History== ''Cherwell'' was conceived by two Balliol College students, Cecil Binney and George Edinger, on a ferry from Dover to Ostend during the summer vacation of 1920 while the students were travelling to Vienna to do relief work for the Save the Children charity. Edinger recalls the early newspaper having a radical voice: "We were feeling for a new Oxford …. We were anti-convention, anti-Pre War values, Pro-Feminist. We did not mind shocking and we often did." Nonetheless, early editions combine this seriousness with whimsy and parochialism. The first editorial gives the newspaper's purpose as being "to exclude all outside influence and interference from our University. Oxford for the Oxonians". ''Cherwell'' was the only newspaper printed in Britain during the UK General Strike of 1926, other than the ''British Gazette'' and the ''British Worker'', during which time it was produced at the offices of the ''Daily Mail'' in London. Throughout the 1920s ''Cherwell'' had a strong literary focus, and a policy of not editing literary contributions. Undergraduate contributors included Evelyn Waugh, Graham Greene, John Betjeman, L. P. Hartley, Cecil Day-Lewis and W. H. Auden. The newspaper's literary focus broadened over the coming decades until by 1950 it had become a general-interest newspaper. In 1946 ''Cherwell'' was briefly banned by the university for distributing a survey on the sex lives of undergraduates, and in 1954 ran a series of pin-up photographs entitled "Girls of the Year". In 1970 then-editor Peter Stothard published a current Oxford theatre poster featuring a naked female, possibly a first for a British newspaper. Under his editorship ''Cherwell'' also published a backless photo of Gully Wells, considered very daring for the time. Both editions caused much comment. In 1973 the paper became a 'cause celebre' in the national papers when the ''Cherwell'' published a photo of General Editor David Soskin with a topless model. This resulted in a personal fine by the proctors for David Soskin. In 1964 the newspaper's longest-running feature was born, the John Evelyn gossip column (which has run almost uninterrupted ever since). Its (unsigned) editors in Trinity Term 1964 were Christopher Meakin (see Google) who became Editor of the Oxford undergraduate magazine Isis the following term, and Michael Morris who after leaving Oxford eventually became managing editor of ITN. Over the decades many famous people have been the subject of John Evelyn's wry and faux-condescending style, among them future Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto, politician Jonathan Aitken, and actor Imogen Stubbs. In 1981, Hugh Grant is described as "New College's answer to Brooke Shields", and his unsuccessful attempts to infiltrate a ball with his date are reported. Cherwell's Editor in Michaelmas Term term 1964 had been Patrick Marnham, who on leaving Oxford became a prominent staff journalist on Private Eye, Britain's leading satirical magazine, and was author of the standard reference book on the history of the magazine which Marnham wrote as its 21st birthday celebration in 1982. The Editor for the following Hilary Term 1965 was Martin Linton, who went on to become Labour member of parliament for Battersea. Linton's News Editor on Cherwell, Sarah Boyd-Carpenter, is better known nowadays as Baroness Hogg. In the mid-1970s ''Cherwell'' survived one of its periodic financial crises, and politically the paper campaigned against Oxford University's investments in apartheid-era South Africa. 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「Cherwell (newspaper)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
