Student Newspaper - gakusei shinbun

Japanese: 学生新聞 - がくせいしんぶん

A newspaper edited and published by students. The first student newspaper in Japan was the Mita Shimbun at Keio University, which was launched in May 1917. It is different from general newspapers and student newspapers in other countries in that it is organized within the university and its readership is students. Since the 1970s, sects that control the student council leadership of each faculty have begun to give it the role of an organ for their own sect, and it has become almost unread by general students. Since the mid-1980s, student sports newspapers that report on the activities of their own school's sports clubs have become more active.

Japanese:

学生が編集，発行している新聞。 1917年5月に創刊された慶應義塾大学の『三田新聞』が日本の学生新聞で最初のもの。その組織が学内にあり，読者対象を学生におく点が一般紙や諸外国の学生新聞と異なる。 1970年代から各学部の自治会指導部を握るセクトが自セクトの機関紙的な役割をもたせるようになり，一般学生にほとんど読まれなくなった。 80年代なかばからは，自校のスポーツクラブの活躍を伝える学生スポーツ新聞が活発となっている。
