The Nevada Sagebrush
''The Nevada Sagebrush'' is the independent student newspaper of the University of Nevada, Reno. It was founded on October 19, 1893, as ''The Student Record'', against the wishes of the Nevada Board of Regents. In 1910, the name was changed to '' ...
''. It comes out every Tuesday afternoon, and employs more than 40 people, 25 full-time. Prior to 2004, the newspaper called itself simply the ''Sagebrush''.
The newspaper won the Associated Collegiate Press Pacemaker award in 2008 and 2009. It was also a finalist for a Pacemaker at the 2006 and 2007 ACP student journalism awards. It has won the best of show award at the fall 2005, 2006 and 2007 ACP national conferences in its category (weekly broadsheet at a four-year university). It was also nominated for an online ACP Pacemaker in 2008. Its website, www.nevadasagebrush.com, which launched in the fall of 2007, has also been recognized by the Center for Innovation in College Media for it breaking news packages, podcasts, videos and general innovation and web presence. Many of The ''Nevada Sagebrush''s former editors have gone on to work and take internships at newspapers and news organizations such as ''The Washington Post'', ''The Oregonian'', ''USA Today'', ''The Miami Herald'', ''The Arizona Republic'' and the Associated Press, as well as dozens of local newspapers around the country.
''Insight Magazine'' is the only student-run magazine at the University of Nevada. Formerly Nevada's yearbook for nearly 100 years, ''Insight Magazine'' has evolved into the second major publication circulating at the university. Its first edition was published in September 2008. It presents itself as a theme-based monthly magazine, providing photography, stories and graphics, in contrast to the weekly, newspaper-style of ''The Sagebrush''. It is put out both in print and online. The online version, UNRINSIGHT.com, provides both support for the published stories and independent content.
In its sophomore year, ''Insight Magazine'' received national attention from major college media organizations, such as the Associated College Press and the College Media Advisers. ''Insight'' placed fifth for headline presentation in Best of Collegiate Design 2009 by the "College Media Advisers". At the 2009 ACP Conference in Austin, Texas, ''Insight'' placed fifth in Best of Show for an audio podcast.
Nevada's literary arts journal ''Brushfire'' was created by a group of students in 1950. It is released once a semester and publishes original poetry, literature, and art by students and some faculty and community members.
The university is also home to a student-run radio station, Wolf Pack Radio. The station broadcasts primarily through its website, although it comes through at 1700 AM. Starting in the fall 2010 semester, Nevada broadcast journalism students started "Wolf Pack Week," a 30-minute television newscast that is shown around campus. Future episodes will air on PBS in Reno and Las Vegas.
There are other independent student publications on campus (although they have stopped publishing regularly since 2006), including ''The Nevada Blue'' and the ''Pack Patriot''.
