''The Ripple'' is the student newspaper at the University of Leicester, England. The fortnightly free newspaper editions has a potential readership of around 10,000 students. ''The Ripple'' currently features a diverse range of content. ''The Ripple'' has featured a wide range of interviews with high-profile people throughout its history, from Robert Mugabe and Yasser Arafat〔(A trip through The Ripple archives ), ''The Ripple'', January 2013〕 to more recent public figures such as Aaron Porter and Peter Soulsby. The President, currently Amy Reeves, is elected by all students and is tasked with managing both the editorial team and the operations team. The Editors, currently Matthew Allen and Laura Mostyn, are internally elected by members of the Ripple, and are tasked with gathering and editing content for copy online and in print. The University of Leicester Students' Union still remains the proprietor of The Ripple. ==History== ''The Ripple'' was founded by Malcolm Bradbury under its original name ''The Wave''.〔( Professor Sir Malcolm Bradbury CBE ), Obituary, University of Leicester ''Bulletin'', February 2001〕 Past editors include Brian Abbs (1957–58), Richard Swann (1971–72), Marc Heal (1983–84), Andrew Biswell (1993–94) and Aaron Porter (2005–06). In October 2012, ''The Ripple'' launched a website for the first time, providing daily news updates and other content in addition to the print editions published each term. In May 2013, students at the University of Leicester elected President Christopher Everett as the first ever President of The Ripple. The newly created role of President was designed so that the future editor would no longer be concerned with both content and the day-to-day running of the publication, and is tasked with undertaking responsibilities such as developing strategic goals for the Ripple, organising and leading the Ripple executive, communicating with the Students' Union, ensuring funding and distribution for the Ripple, and organising extra-publicatory activities for the Ripple's members. 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 Ripple」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
