[citation needed] The award recognised the many hours of hard work put in by the members of the Forge Press, Forge Radio and Forge TV teams, as individual teams and as one fully converged media package, displaying a wide range of multimedia skills and including hundreds of members of the student body, and reaching large audiences.

It broadcasts during term time on the Internet and throughout the Students' Union, catering for a varied taste in music and general interest with programming produced by other university societies.

Since 2003 the University of Sheffield Union of Students has employed a non-student in a support role which holds no editorial power and is designed to aid the day-to-day running of the organisation.

Following the Second World War, a new newspaper was set up at the university called Darts, The name stemmed from a sister arts publication, Arrows, which had been around since the 1930s, with the new venture seen as a smaller entity than its sibling – a dart being a sort of miniature arrow.

In the 1997/98 academic year a new editorial team took charge of Darts and decided to change the name.

In the present day, Darts is the name of the part of the Comment section which provides a satirical and comical take on recent news stories and events.

Ranging in appearance from something not dissimilar to the Daily Express to its eventual appearance as the Daily Mirror of student publications, the Sheffield Steel Press as it was known (Sheffield Steel as it appeared on the cover) continued to provide a proving ground for young journalists hoping for a career in the media or simply looking for an interesting diversion during their time at the University of Sheffield.
