The Link (newspaper)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Link is an independent student newspaper at Concordia University. It was founded in 1980 as a merger between The Georgian and The Loyola News. The two newspapers had previously existed on two separate campuses.
The Link's mandate is to be a voice for the voiceless and has a reputation for being an activist newspaper. It prints several supplements a year investigating special issues. The first special issue was the women's issue, printed around International Women's Day. In 1982, The Link printed its first gay issue which some students found to be controversial; 5,000 copies of the paper were removed from the newstands by students and destroyed. A queer issue is still printed each year. Other special issues include the Women Against Violence issue, the disabilities issue, the housing and poverty issue, the sexuality issue, and the culture and diversity issue.
The Link is a member of the Canadian University Press.
