''The Boar'' is the student newspaper of the University of Warwick. Founded in 1973, the paper is published fortnightly during term time but the website is continually updated. Whilst a society of the Union, the paper is editorially independent. It consists of news, opinion, arts, reviews and lifestyle. Contribution to the ''Boar'' is entirely voluntary and none of the approximately 40 editorial staff are paid. Furthermore, the paper does not receive any budget from the Students' Union and therefore relies entirely on self-generated advertising revenue to keep afloat. In 2013, the ''Boar'' was selected as Student Publication of the Year.〔http://onestowatchmedia.com/2013/09/01/student-publication-of-the-year-2013-the-winner/〕 == History == Upon its founding in October 1973, the ''Boar'' incorporated ''Campus'', the student newspaper of the late 1960s and early 1970s. For a brief period in 1988, the ''Boar'' changed its name to ''Mercury'', though by the end of the academic year it reverted to the ''Boar''. With the exception of the occasional comedy issue of the ''Warwick Goat'', the ''Boar'' has consistently remained as the ''Boar'' or the ''Warwick Boar''. The ''Boar'' has been a free newspaper since 1990. In 2004, the online edition was relaunched with a feature to accept reader comments. This work was undertaken by Electronic Engineering student Chris Williams, with the help of online editor Kate Fleetwood and others. The paper was published weekly until 2009 when it switched to fortnightly after financial troubles. The website was again relaunched in April 2013. It was redesigned but also provided a new back-end for the team after encountering problems with the old site.〔http://theboar.org/2013/05/01/boar-website-relaunches/#.U2phxVdXMVA〕 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「The Boar」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
