Circulation is calculated, on the basis three people see each newspaper picked
up, by taking the number of newspapers taking and multiplying it by three.
Publication refusal investigation
Suggestions that contributions had been refused brought to the February council
meeting were investigated. Neither the original claimant nor any other student
brought any evidence forward to corroborate these suggestions.
Deadline notifications have now been posted on the outside of the newspaper
office door. Any future problems should be reported to either the newspaper
editor, VP Communications & Democracy or, if either of these are suspected to
have refused content without proper grounds, to the President.
