Our Story
The Brunswickan is a community news organization situated on the University of New Brunswick’s Fredericton campus. Our first issue was published in 1867, prior to any other official student publication at a Canadian university.
The Dalhousie Gazette at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, claims the title of "oldest student newspaper in Canada." The Gazette has published consecutively since 1868, whereas there are significant gaps in the publishing history of The Brunswickan.
A founding member of the Canadian University Press, The Brunswickan remains one of the largest community newspapers in Atlantic Canada.
In January 2009, the paper switched from broadsheet to tabloid format in response to financial pressures, and in an effort to reduce its impact on the environment. The Brunswickan subsequently dropped its circulation from 10,000 to 6,000 issues per week later that month, and again to 5,000 in 2012. Circulation dropped again to 4,000 in September 2013.
