Centretown News was a newspaper in Ottawa published by Carleton University's school of journalism, distributed to the neighbourhood north of the school, called Centretown.
They write the stories, solicit advertising, lay out the pages and edit the newspaper before it hits the streets.
Students in the third year of Carleton's journalism program are required to do a reporting stint at the paper.
In fourth year, students can take an optional half-credit course for a semester at the paper, where they work at rotational job postings; for instance, a student who works as the arts reporter for one issue could be the editor-in-chief for the next.
It is distributed free of charge to the neighbourhood bordered by the Ottawa River in the north, the Queensway freeway in the south, the Rideau Canal in the east and a railroad right-of-way in the west.
