So pleased to see my piece for @beaveronline has been shortlisted, alongside so many great features.

When I was a member of the su executive and board, it was clear that the board and executive could make decisions around budgets and make budgets work. The elected members should show leadership and just fund the paper. If they dont want to, they should show their hand and say so

[Morgan Fairless @morganfairlessb]

This is shameful from @lsesu. Typical as well, to have elected officers say they wish to support but eventually failing at that. Put your money where your mouth is and make the commitments you know you can do.

if you’re connected to lse in any way you should read this

i’d love to see @lsesu justify itself now

Thank you for your overwhelming support 🦫

An update: our petition to #SaveTheBeaver has amassed over 600 signatures, including support from current students and alumni that fondly remember the newspaper as an integral part of their student experience during their time at LSE decades ago.

[The Beaver 🦫 @beaveronline]

We have now forwarded our petition — and your support — to the LSESU Board of Trustees. The ball is now in their court: they must take action to amend the bye-laws and save The Beaver.

[Ayça Çubukçu @ayca_cu]

Save the @beaveronline, the one and only newspaper of students at @LSEnews.

Background in the thread.

[Emmanuel Molding Nielsen @EmmanuelMolding]

The beaver was an incredibly productive interface for engaging with the LSE community, when I there as Features editor. I also saw it give many students serious exposure to the world of journalism (and beyond). The @lsesu can do better.

[Charlie Hancock @Hancock2001]

Student journalism is a huge net positive for society. It holds important institutions (in this case, LSE) to account, and provides an invaluable training ground and springboard for the next generation of journalists
