Neucleus is a student newspaper published at the University of New England in Armidale, New South Wales, Australia. The magazine is produced by the University of New England Students' Association.

History

Neucleus was established in April 1947.

Voluntary student unionism

The implementation of voluntary student unionism in 2006 had a significant impact on the viability of student newspapers across Australia, compulsory student union membership fees having been the major source of income for most.

Post-VSU return

After a period of six years absence, the publication returned in 2013 under the name Nucleus.

New media age

As of 2018 the Nucleus has taken a new angle and started publishing digitally with a minimisation of print media. The 2017-18 UNESA Board of Directors in conjunction with a former editor, Nicholas McCann, helped to form this new version of the publication.

Magazine closure

Due to budgetary restrictions and a high turn-over of editors, the magazine ceased publishing.[when?]
