Canadian University Press Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
Canadian University Press is a co-operative and newswire service owned by about 65 student-run newspapers at post-secondary schools in Canada. Founded in 1938, CUP is the oldest student news wire service in the world and the oldest national student organization in North America. Many successful Canadian journalists got their starts in CUP and its member papers. Its head office is in Toronto.A national conference, which doubles as an annual general meeting, is held once a year in a different city. Each region holds two conferences a year as well. Each member paper exercises one vote at conferences. The president and national bureau chief are elected at the National Conference ("Nash"), while the regional CUPboard members and bureau chiefs are elected at the regional conferences.
CUP is divided into five regions: WRCUP (Western), PRCUP (Prairies), ORCUP (Ontario), CUPbeq (Québec) and ARCUP (Atlantic). PRCUP includes two subregions: CUPberta (Alberta) and C-CUP (Central).
Member student newspapers contribute articles to the CUP wire, which also runs stories authored by CUP staff. There are news, features, opinions, arts, sports, graphics and supplements wires. After stories are edited by the national bureau chief, they are made available on the wire for publication in CUP member papers.
CUP wholly owns a national advertising agency, which serves as a clearing-house for large sponsors, giving them easy one-stop access to student newspapers.
