• The yorker is pioneering for three reasons. Firstly, in our directory we have every single organisation which is relevant to students - from societies, to bars to university services. We have thus created a much needed student-led database. What's more, is that all of these can post events on the first university-wide calendar. In this calendar you can choose preferences to see the events you wish.

  Secondly the yorker has managed to achieve editorial independence. This is no easy task in York, all media including award-winning newspaper Nouse are censored by the university.

  Thirdly, societies finally have a place to manage their members and use central emailing lists. Along with this goes various useful portals, long before "Portal" itself is near York.
