Production

Over the years, Trinity News has appeared in many formats including broadsheet and tabloid; as of 2008 it is a broadsheet which publishes on a fortnightly basis during term time. The newspaper is produced exclusively by students of the University under the direction of a student Editor, due to the increased number of issues and workload it has become practise for the editor to take a sabbatical from his studies. This Editor must be in good standing at the time of his election.

In addition to advertising revenue, Trinity News is funded in part by a grant from Dublin University Publications Committee, but claims full editorial independence. It is printed by "Midlands Printing", who also print the Financial Times and the Midland Tribune. The print run is 6,000 copies for each issue, which are distributed around Trinity College, various other city centre locations, Froebel College and Marino College. A small number of copies are also distributed by post to alumni and friends of the newspaper.

Notable past stories

In October 2005, a story published in Trinity News revealed that the American air force was funding a research program in Trinity College. This story caused controversy among students and was reported on in the national press.Fact|date=June 2008 It was also raised during question time in the Dáil.
