The Glasgow Guardian is the student newspaper of the University of Glasgow.

Founded in 1932 as The Gilmorehill Globe, the newspaper has undergone four name changes in its existence. First changed to The Gilmorehill Guardian, then to the Glasgow University Guardian in 1959 under editor Neil MacCormick then to Glasgow Guardian in 2011 and finally to The Glasgow Guardian in 2020. The publication is produced by students of the university on a voluntary basis and is partially funded by the Glasgow University Students' Representative Council alongside revenue from advertising.

History

The paper has reported on sex tourism in Vietnam, racist door policies of Glasgow nightclubs and conducted the first ever independent staff satisfaction survey which revealed doubts about the university management strategy. In 2004 Guardian revealed a CIA officer was working as a lecturer in the Politics department and a year later that Glasgow University Union had been spending part of its grant on a pornography channel subscription, money which had been intended for front line student services. In the same year, it ran an undercover investigation into sub-standard and dangerous student housing, which was described by the editor of The Herald as "campaigning journalism at its best". In 2006, it also reported that university management were rewarding big donors with honorary degrees. The paper has also featured an exclusive interview with former Prime Minister Tony Blair. More recently, the Guardian covered debategate, which hit national media headlines after two female students from Edinburgh and Cambridge were reportedly heckled in a sexist manner by members of the Glasgow University Union. In 2015, it reported that the university's charity fashion show had spent three times as much on an events management company as it donated to charity.
