York Vision (previously known as yorkVision and York Student Vision) is one of two student newspapers at the University of York. Vision is a registered society of, and is funded by the University of York Students' Union (YUSU).
Unlike many other university newspapers, which have sabbatical editors, York Vision's staff is made up entirely of current students. The current Editors are Kaitlyn Beattie-Zarb and Emily Sinclair. [1] The Deputy Editor is Laura Rowe. [2]
The newspaper itself contains several sections, with Opinion, Features, Lifestyle, Science, SCENE, and Environment, bookended by news and sport.[ citation needed ]
Vision has a number of features that help mould its distinct character. These include:
In early 2018, The Lemon Press, the University of York's satirical student magazine, accused York Vision of erroneously claiming to be the "most awarded student newspaper" in the country. [7] The outcome of their investigation suggested that the United Kingdom's most awarded student newspaper was The Gryphon, of the University of Leeds. In response, York Vision changed their Twitter description to "one of the most awarded student publications". [8]
The October 2018 issue of York Vision was removed from circulation for a back page advert that consisted of a link to an online submission form, and the heading "Send Nudes". The page received condemnation from the University of York Students' Union, which also claimed that issue had been published without their required approval. [9] The paper was then sanctioned by YUSU and the society was suspended from operating until the start of the 2019/20 academic year under new leadership.
York Vision has received awards for its writing, design, and in both overall best publication and best small budget categories (due to the lack of sabbatical positions of the paper). In 2009 it was the only student newspaper without a full-time paid member of staff to be nominated for Guardian Student Newspaper of the Year.
It won the award four times in six years, having held the award from 2002 to 2004. Vision remains the only paper to achieve the remarkable hat-trick in the ceremony's 26-year history.
In 2011, Vision was named Student Publication of the Year at the Guardian Student Media Awards. [10]
