About the UTFP Blog
The University of Toronto Free Press is an alternative source of news, analysis and entertainment produced by students, staff, faculty and alumni of the University of Toronto on issues affecting universities and the wider society. Our primary goal is to provide a space for critical analysis and discussion that is rooted in a commitment to social justice and activism.
We aim to launch as an online publication in February 2009 and intend to publish our first print issue by the spring of this year. The UTFP is run on a day-to-day basis by a large editorial collective. We hold regular open meetings and encourage everyone – undergraduates, graduates, campus staff, faculty, alumni and community members – to get involved.
