The Concordian is an independent, entirely student-run newspaper published weekly for the students of Concordia University; its offices and hard-copy distribution centres are located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

NASH84 featured over 70 prominent journalists from across North America including Brian Stelter of CNN, Jesse Brown of CANADALAND, Anita Li of The Green Line, Jason Chiu of The New York Times, and many others.

The Concordian was first published in 1973 as a continuation of The Paper, an independent student newspaper which existed on Loyola College's campus from 1968 to 1973.

[4][5] All three papers were in existence when nationwide coverage of the Computer Centre Incident occurred, and it was reported on extensively by each in distinct ethical manners.

In late 1973, The Paper reported in its final issue that the student association had decided to cease funding the publication.

[16][17][18] The Concordian published over 40 issues distributed to both Loyola and SGW campuses, but was folded the following year, having not received enough advertising revenue or additional funding from the student association.

The students successfully formed a competing newspaper which would strictly cover campus-related news and follow editorial policies focused on unbiased, factual reporting.
