Oxford’s oldest student newspaper could be vetted by “sensitivity readers” to stop it publishing “problematic” articles under new plans.
Officials at the Oxford Student Union (Oxford SU) are planning to set up a ‘Student Consultancy of Sensitivity Readers’ who would be elected and paid to check articles across various student newspapers for signs of insensitivity.
There is a “need for better editing” to review journalism from Oxford’s esteemed campus newspaper Cherwell because of “high incidences of insensitive material being published”, students say.
