''Epigram'' is an independent student newspaper of the University of Bristol.〔(Epigram Online - Bristol University's Independent Student Newspaper )〕 It was established in 1988 by James Landale, now a senior BBC journalist, who studied politics at Bristol.〔(Epigram Online - Scaling the heights of the BBC )〕 The former editor of The Daily Telegraph, William Lewis, was a writer for Epigram in its early years.〔(Epigram Online - Fleet Street's rising star )〕 ''Epigram'' is produced fortnightly during term time, and as of May 2012 the newspaper has reached 250 editions. It is available as a paper edition distributed freely around the university, with articles and discussion also appearing online. The paper follows a traditional newspaper layout: the front of the newspaper is devoted to news issues, particularly those concerning students at the university. With the addition of online editors for each of Epigram's 14 sections in order to update the paper's growing website, it now has a 40-strong editorial team mostly consisting of students from the second year and above (formal recruitment is carried out in the last term of an academic year). The current editor is Sarah Newey, and the deputy editors are Adam Becket and Becki Murray. All students at the University are encouraged to write for the paper and each section of the paper has a weekly publicised meeting to discuss and allocate stories for the next edition - there are opportunities to join each section team at the Freshers' Fair at the beginning of the year or by emailing the relevant section editor.〔(Epigram Online - Bristol University's Independent Student Newspaper )〕 ==Political stance== Epigram often attempts to be the voice of the students in a debate. In November 2006 Epigram published appeals from history students decrying the new teaching system that was to be implemented. This brought the issue to a much wider stage including several national broadsheet newspapers. The story first published in Epigram was picked up by The Times newspaper and the BBC〔(News and Views from The Times and Sunday Times | Times Online )〕〔(Bristol students angry at tuition cuts | Special Reports | EducationGuardian.co.uk )〕〔(BBC NEWS | Education | Tutorials 'hit by staffing cuts' )〕 The Telegraph cites Epigram in stating the History students were made aware of the courses structure before starting the course.〔(Students protest as Bristol cuts tuition to two hours a week - Telegraph )〕 The paper took a similar pro-student stance when an Epigram story focusing on students becoming lap dancers and one Bristol University student selling their eggs to fertility clinics to reduce levels of student debt was picked up by the BBC.〔(BBC NEWS | Education | Students lapdance for fees )〕 An Epigram report into drugs use at the University was similarly was picked up by the BBC.〔(BBC NEWS | England | Bristol | Cocaine found at university bars )〕 In 2011, Epigram revealed that the University planned to scrap bursaries (before a partial u-turn), a story which was later picked up by The Guardian. In 2012, using Freedom of Information requests, Epigram discovered that Bristol University's Vice-Chancellor had endorsed a privatised fee scheme in which banks or other investors would buy a proportion of students' future earnings in return for paying their tuition. This story was subsequently picked up by The Times. In the 2014-15 academic year, Epigram has so far had a total of 12 stories picked up by national news outlets, including The Independent, The Daily Telegraph and The Huffington Post, and three by The Bristol Post. 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「Epigram (newspaper)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
