The Beaver is the newspaper of the London School of Economics students' union. Despite being published by the LSE Students' Union, The Beaver has a strong tradition of independence and hard nosed intelligent reporting. Around 4,000 copies are published and distributed free of charge every Tuesday during term time. The Beaver is governed by the collective, a body of around 150 students who have contributed three or more written pieces or photographs to the paper. The collective democratically elects all of the paper's editorial staff. The paper is one of the UK's most active student publications and counts itself among those at the forefront of student issues and campaigns. The paper is made up of news, comment & analysis, features, PartB, sports and other sections. It is published by the LSE Students' Union and printed by the Guardian Media Group. News typically consists of LSE, University of London and Higher Education stories and is frequently contacted by the national press. Recent examples have included the story of Erik Ringmar, a Senior Lecturer at the LSE, being threatened by the School . This story was picked up by a number of national papers, including The Guardian . In
