Whether you’re a budding young journalist, have a flair for the world of media and communications, or simply want to get involved in the community, The Matthew welcomes all individuals who have something to say. With news, creative writing, reviews, and opinion sections, the student newspaper at JCU has a niche for everyone. Let’s take a closer look at what the publication has to offer!
Celebrating Diverse Voices
At JCU, we are proud to host an active and diverse student body from over 80 countries across the world. In a unique setting like this, extracurricular activities offer a chance for students to get to know one another outside of a formal academic classroom. The Matthew prides itself on being a publication by students and for students at JCU. As an independent newspaper, it is entirely submission-based and led by a team of international students across different disciplines.
The Student Commentary section lends a platform to the experiences and perspectives of our diverse student body. Contributors have the chance to speak on different issues and topics of personal interest. Likewise, featured articles may address issues of social, political, and environmental concern to raise awareness in the community.
