We need your help! Even if you can only spare a small donation, every pound will help us carry on printing 😊

We've been creating conversation on campus for almost 50 years - but we need your help to continue printing.

Since its inception in 1973, The Boar has been an essential part of life on Warwick University campus. We’ve kept students informed - most notably through the Group Chat Investigation. We also spark tangible change, seen recently by our Sexism in Sport article prompting the SU to consider measures to combat the issues raised.

We’ve already cut our fortnightly paper down to a monthly edition and we would be devastated to see it go completely. That’s why we are launching our BoArchives fundraising project to raise money for the print edition of The Boar. Unlike many other student papers, we operate independently from both the University and the Student’s Union - which also means we don’t receive funding from either. We don’t want to compromise the unique position that The Boar holds, which is why we’re now asking for help from the public in order to continue our work.

We know many of you are students who won’t have the budget for big donations, but we would be grateful for anything you can give. Thank you for taking the time to consider our appeal, and for continuing to support independent student journalism.

"Women in bands do exist - yes, there is more than just Paramore."

Olivia L'Estrange makes a case that indie festivals need more female headliners to address the genre's gender problem, and suggests some names who could foot the bill.

As the 30th anniversary of Nirvana's 'Nevermind' approaches, Emma Wilkes argues that we should remember late frontman Kurt Cobain for the way he lived, and not how he died.
