[edit] Production
Woroni is published by the ANU Students’ Association, and is produced by an elected Editor or small team of Editors who serve for a period of one year. Usually the elected Editor then appoints their own team of Sub-Editors and Staff Writers.
[edit] Format
Traditionally Woroni was printed in a tabloid format, and it was published fortnightly. In the mid 1990s the newspaper was published monthly. Since 2004 Woroni has taken on a magazine-style format, which now consists of 48 pages and is issued four times per semester.
[edit] Content
The content of the newspaper is directed by the Editor, and hence changes from year to year. It usually contains: letters, campus news, opinion pieces, features, entertainment reviews, satire, and reports from the ANU Students' Association elected officeholders. From 2005, issues have centred around a theme, which has proved to be a successful method of encouraging new contributors.
[edit] Awards
In late 2005, Woroni was awarded first prize for the best series of front cover artworks among Australia's student newspapers at the National Student and Emerging Media Conference (NSEMC), which forms part of the annual This Is Not Art (TINA) festival in Newcastle.
