IGNITE THE NEWSROOM

BURN brings the heat with over 100 articles published across our team and counting.We're fired up with experience across every category: news, analysis, opinion, culture, STEM and beyond.Our diverse backgrounds mean we understand what stories need telling across campus, and the implications of these stories on the student body.In a climate of censorship and disinformation, BURN is deeply committed to being a hotbed of radical reporting and discourse.BURN will keep the editorial fires blazing, by:- First Nations advocacy and fighting for land rights; moving past acknowledgments into action- Reporting on issues facing international, refugee and immigrant students- Standing up for queer rights and standing against TERF and SWERF rhetoric- Fighting for a Free Palestine through honest reporting, protest coverage, and interviews- Delivering considered, in-depth critiques of the university's cuts, repressive policies, and partnerships with unethical companies- Covering every faculty's research, achievements, and activities- Training and supporting first-time writers through mentorship programs, funded by university grants- Creating a campus gig guide to showcase vibrant student life- Implementing a "news by the people, for the people" approach that responds to what students actually want to read

Honi Soit is Australia's premier student NEWSpaper, not a lifestyle magazine.BURN recognises that every article should answer the fundamental question: why should students care about this right now?We'll refocus Honi's editorial direction to ensure timely, relevant, and impactful journalism.
