Edinburgh student freesheet to launch

Scotland's leading young journalists have hatched an ambitious plan to launch a free student newspaper in a Berliner format across five universities in Edinburgh.
The Journal, a 32-page full-colour newspaper, will print about 14,000 copies each fortnight and aims to reach 60,000 students - making it Scotland's largest university newspaper.

Copying a distribution method used by London freesheets, The Journal will hire people to hand out copies to students at campuses of the University of Edinburgh, Napier University, Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh College of Art and Heriot-Watt University.
