STUDENT MEDIA The UCC Express is University College Cork’s official campus newspaper. With 13 issues a year the Express comes out more often than any other college newspaper in Ireland, and keeps UCC students & staff up-to-date across campus. The Express has been breaking stories & covering the action for over 30 years, and has had former writers & editors go on to do great things in the field of journalism, including current Irish Independent Editor Fionnan Sheahan and several prominent writers for the Irish Examiner, Evening Echo & Irish Times respectively. If you want to get into hard-hitting journalism, cover the latest in sport, review the hottest album or contribute to our award-winning humour section, the Express is for you. In addition to our physical paper we publish articles daily on UCCExpress. ie. No experience needed, new writers welcome any time!
