New deal gives UNSW students and staff unlimited access to The Sydney Morning Herald

All UNSW students and staff will be able to read the Herald via its website and app.

UNSW Sydney students and staff can sign up for full digital access to The Sydney Morning Herald through a new subscription licensing deal.

The Campus Access partnership will allow students and staff to download the Herald and Good Food apps, browse the latest headlines and stay up to date with the paper’s coverage of local and national news, politics, business, world and culture.

The subscription, which all staff and students can now access, is equivalent to a Premium Digital subscription. It also allows users to sign up for newsletters and comment on articles, as well as access subscriber offers such as discounted theatre and movie tickets, and food and lifestyle events.

UNSW Vice-President, Societal Impact, Equity and Engagement, Professor Verity Firth AM, said she hoped students and staff would take full advantage of having timely and insightful analysis at their fingertips.

“One of the first things I do each morning is read the paper. It keeps me informed and gives me practical insight into the issues shaping the day. I’m delighted that our UNSW community now has expanded access through this deal,” Prof. Firth said.

“When reliable information is easy to reach, people are better prepared to understand what’s unfolding locally, nationally and globally. This free access means our students and staff can stay up to date with the latest developments in their fields and in the wider cultural conversation.”

Campus Access is a key initiative in the Herald's strategy for connecting younger audiences with high-quality, objective journalism, said The Sydney Morning Herald’s Executive Editor Luke McIlveen.

“This arrangement between The Sydney Morning Herald and UNSW will ensure our trusted, award-winning and independent journalism will be made available to the leaders of the future,” he said.

“In a world awash with unverified user-generated news and misinformation, it's never been more important for young readers to engage with our journalism.”

UNSW students and staff can register to activate a subscription.
