In the red corner:
Oskar Cox Jensen and Billy Kenber's first issue
In the blue corner:
Hannah Kuchler and MattheHannah Kuchler's first issue
Get your commenting fingers ready - what did you like and what would you spike in these honourable first efforts?
More astute readers may have spotted that the Stu's front page is not quite what was delivered to JCRs on Thursday. Our esteemed editor-in-chief* assures me that Miss Kuchler is consulting the powers-that-be in OUSU towers about copyright. In the meantime, you'll have to make do with our artist's impression
* He also assures me that ed-in-chief "certainly wasn't second prize you ****"

Why do the OxStu stubbonly refuse to do anything new with design each term? I'm not saying you need a radical overhaul but it's starting to looking a bit tired. And they should really sort out their printing . 'Party people' could be really fun if it weren't all one big, smudgy, dark mess.

@ TS:
Party people could never be really fun. This week was just, well, sick. In the bad sense of the word.

Crap.
Where's Holehouse?
If he's not on the front page he must have disappeared!!!!!!!!!!! [YES]

Holehouse must have infected Kuchler with his dire design and editing skills.

OxStu - yes well done on the donations stuff. Really very good, i can hear the Guardian student media judges creaming themselves already. But why did you have to spoil it with that shite editorial? it was cringe-inducing, even by the fucking awful standards of OxStu editorials. The ironic Sun-loving is just annoying.
Cherwell - good idea with C2, keeps the good parts of last term's design whilst being free of the overly-rigid section structure. But overall implementation could improve a fair bit (particularly centrespread). And for the love of God, couldn't you have come up with a better name than 'C2'? ('Isis' for example - just a suggestion).

Finally - surely the media development worthy of most comment is the rejuvenation of this very website? When is 'Aldate' (if that is your real name) going to enlighten us as to the internal wranglings that went on behind that then?

I thought Sport was boss, personally.

Cherwell - why wasn't there a front page picture that had anything to do with the story? And I agree - the website is much more interesting. Nothing much seems to have changed in the actual paper from last term.
OxStu - design is still shoddy, but generally the use of pictures was better...
Both can do better.

Iran story should have been front page - pretty cool stuff, an Oxford student getting kicked out by a load of dodgy Iranians, and it was a scoop as well.

Sue you're so right, the pictures in the OxStu are amazing. That centrespread image was stunning. The chairs, and the tables, and the light. Wow.
14"Well..."

It's a tragically slow news vac when the stu reminds us of what we all saw live on sky....
... but it's a sadder design term when that's the best center spread Cherwell can come up with

oxstu not changing design? what?
oxstu changes design entirely about once a year, somewhat ruins the continuity, but i don't think you could describe them as "stubbornly refusing..."
spot the guardian knock off followed by the times rip off circa heath/shackle.
16"nope"

Erm, there's more to a newspaper's design than its masthead.
