"The Brunswickan" is the official student newspaper of the Fredericton campus of the University of New Brunswick, New Brunswick, Canada. It has a circulation of 10,000 and issues are published each Wednesday of the school year, traditionally running from 25-27 issues annually.

About

A founding member of the Canadian University Press, "The Brunswickan" remains one of the largest community newspapers in Atlantic Canada, and among the largest in Canada, well out-of-proportion to the size of its home campus.

The tagline for the paper, "Canada's Oldest Official Student Publication", combines two facts: the paper is the official student publication for the Fredericton campus of the University of New Brunswick and the first issue was published in 1867, prior to any other official student publication at a Canadian university.

Regional rival, "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".

The paper currently runs in a broadsheet format, and is one of only two member newspapers of the Canadian University Press to do so; the other is "The Silhouette", from McMaster University.

In the past, members of the paper have been referred to as "brunsies", a term of pride and affection for some.

Among its notable alumni are Colin B. Mackay, Bliss Carman, Charles G. D. Roberts, Dalton Camp, Fredrik Eaton, Nathan White, Sean Patrick Sullivan, Chris Wilson-Smith, Ben Conoley, Donald Pringle and Kwame Dawes.

"The Brunswickan" has a sister-publication, "The Baron", at the other UNB campus, UNB Saint John.
