Union Weekly - California State University, Long Beach

The Union Weekly has been a staple of the Cal State Long Beach campus since its inception in 1977, when it was formed as a response to the students’ increasing contempt for the school’s official mutant of a newspaper, The Daily 49er. The students, fed up with the Daily 49er’s ineptitude and corruption, demanded a paper that was run solely by students, for students, without the slimy influence of the Journalism department. Out of this eruption of displeasure and cynicism, The Union was born.
