The ''Wessex Scene'' (formerly ''Wessex News'', prior 1996) is the oldest, leading, and most-read student news provider at the University of Southampton, and has been in print since 1936, making it one of the oldest and most prestigious student publications in the United Kingdom. Wessex Scene has evolved over the years and now takes the forms of an online news site and a monthly magazine publication, published by the University of Southampton Students' Union and available across the campuses and Halls of Residence of the university. The website and online edition were nominated for best website at the Guardian Student Media Awards for three years in a row before finally winning the award in 2004.〔http://www.journalism.co.uk/14/articles/51144.php〕 Since it establishment in 2013, Wessex Scene has been nominated for dozens of Student Publication Association awards, and were highly commended for 'Best Designed magazine' in 2015. The team at the magazine have also won a number of individual nationally recognised awards. In 2014 a piece Bridie Pearson-Jones, then politics editor, wrote was selected as one of the Huffington Post Student Journalist Stories of the Year,〔http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2014/12/18/huffpost-uks-student-journalist-stories-of-the-year_n_6346372.html〕 and in 2015 Toby Leveson was awarded 'New Deal Student Journalist of the Year' by The Independent and National Union of Students for his coverage of 2015 General Election. ==History== The ''Wessex Scene'' initially launched as ''Wessex News'' on 25 February 1936 and was published by students Union of the, then, University College. The Union had at this time just been granted a section of the main University building following new construction work and as a result had begun to expand in operations. From this foundation the paper was printed regularly in newspaper format with relatively few changes. The name changed to the current ''Wessex Scene'' in 1996 to reflect on the other content that was being fed into the paper and the publication launched online in the 2001 academic year. The publication's ownership by the Students' Union has resulted in conflict at times between the student writers and editors of the publication, and the officers at the Union who are also Editors-in-chief but who have a minimal role. This has led to claims of censorship and that the Union blocked stories that they believed did not fit with the values of the Union. Subsequently a Code of Conduct was written for the writers of the publication to adhere to. In 2013 the ''Wessex Scene'' and ''The Edge'' became founding members of the Student Publication Association. The association was founded as a result of the efforts of David Gilani, the Vice President Communications at the Students' Union and Editor-in-chief of both publications at the time. SUSU and the two publications hosted the first conference in April 2013 and also hosted the 2015 conference. 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「Wessex Scene」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
