Vertigo (UTS)

Vertigo is the student magazine of the University of Technology, Sydney.[1] Its name derives from the university's main building, which is a 28-storey brutal modernist tower block, and how the Vertigo Offices were originally at its summit. Vertigo is published by the UTS Students' Association.[2][3]

The name Vertigo was adopted in 1991. Previously the student newspaper had been called Newswit, a leftover from when UTS was the NSW Institute of Technology.

Content

Each year, the team elected as Editors of Vertigo by the student body are given full creative control of the publication.

Magazine

Since 2016 (with the introduction of trimesters at UTS) the magazine has been published as six volumes across the calendar year. The magazine is distributed across the Broadway and Haymarket campuses.

Each edition contains an editorial letter and submissions from students covering: arts & lifestyle, business, science & innovation, creative writing, politics, socio-cultural and a visual showcase. The written submissions are featured alongside artwork, visual design and comics.

VertigoTV

The 2017 Editors of Vertigo started VertigoTV, a digital video brand managed by one editor and a team of screenwriters, video editors, sound designers, animator, and filmmakers. They produced fashion lookbooks, animated trailers, interviews, campus news, and skits.

Office Bearer Reports

Vertigo is constitutionally required to print Office Bearer Reports for the UTS Students' Association Office Bearers if they would like to inform the student population about their role and activities.[4] This has often led to controversies as the editorial direction often attracts a readership which may be at political odds with some Office Bearers' beliefs.[5]

gollark: That isn't actually a fix since you can set it to 34.99999 hours, surely?
gollark: Not *everyone*. The immigrants are presumably better off, hence why they do it.
gollark: In a sane system it would make more sense to just make the courses a year longer to cover background material instead of forcing people through 4 years of extremely expensive education.
gollark: Having to do 4 years of schooling before medicine-specific stuff seems dubiously useful.
gollark: Medical degrees here are like regular undergraduate ones but I think somewhat more government-specified and a bit longer.
