Cherwell is an independent newspaper, largely published for students of Oxford University. First published in 1920, it has had an online edition since 1996. Named after the local river, Cherwell is published by OSPL (Oxford Student Publications Ltd.), who also publish the sister publication Isis along with the Bang! science magazine, Industry fashion magazine and freshers' magazine Keep Off the Grass. One of the oldest student publications in the UK, it is editorially independent and has been the launching pad for many well known journalistic and business careers.
