The ''Texas Travesty'' describes itself as the United States' "largest student-produced satirical newspaper".〔http://www.texastravesty.com/about〕 All production and creative work takes place at The University of Texas at Austin. The ''Travesty'' began in 1997 as an independent, online-only publication by the Butler brothers: Kevin Butler (a former editorial columnist for ''The Daily Texan'') and Brad Butler. Within a year, the publication successfully appealed for inclusion within Texas Student Media (TSM, officially named Texas Student Publications), an auxiliary enterprise of the University, which publishes ''The Daily Texan'' and produces KVRX and TSTV. The staff produces six issues each school year, three each long semester.〔http://www.utexas.edu/tsm/media/travesty/〕 Currently, the only issue produced during the summer is a "Best Of" issue from the previous year. Additionally, a short "Freshman Guide" issue is produced at the beginning of each school year. According to the TSM itself, the ''Travesty'' currently has a print distribution of roughly 25,000 copies, in addition to thousands of online readers.〔 The ''Travesty'' is supported by advertising revenue. As a publication within TSM, the paper shares some revenue and expenses with the general TSM organization. The editor-in-chief holds a non-voting position on the TSM board of directors. Several of the ''Travesty''s writers and editors have gone on to publish ''That Other Paper'', a once-popular but now-defunct alt-weekly in Austin, Texas. ==Awards== ;''Austin Chronicle'' — Best of Austin *2014: (Best Local Publication ) (Readers' Poll) *2010: (Best Local Publication ) (Readers' Poll) *2009: (Best Local Publication ) (Readers' Poll) *2006: (Best Local Publication ) (Readers' Poll) *2005: (Best Local Publication ) (Readers' Poll) *2004: (Best Local Publication ) (Readers' Poll) *2003: (Best Parody Newspaper ) (Critics' Choice) 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「Texas Travesty」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
