Glasgow University Magazine

[citation needed] It is the oldest continuously published student magazine in Scotland[citation needed] and despite changes in style has continued to document the university's history from the student's point of view, with reports of sporting achievements and debates, short stories and poems, articles and letters giving opinions on the political and moral issues of the day, and photographs of office bearers and medal winners.

GUM provided a start for a number of illustrators, writers and editors who went on to make their marks in the wider world.

They included James Bridie, Charles Oakley, and John Buchan, the author of The Thirty-Nine Steps, who wrote for GUM in the 1890s.

[1] GUM is a part of and is partially funded by Glasgow University Students' Representative Council, although it retains editorial independence.

[citation needed] The Magazine won three awards in The Herald Scottish Student Press Awards 2006: Best Production, Best Magazine and Student Journalist of the Year for Jenny Munro's fashion writing.
