Cork Student News was a student news website, based in Cork, Ireland that covered local student news, predominantly from University College Cork. It existed as an independently run news website, separate from the college authorities and Students' Union.[citation needed] It operated from 2010 until 2011.
Web Award nomination[edit]
The website, which launched in early 2010, was nominated for an Eircom Golden Spider news award later in 2010.[3] The category was ultimately won by national talk radio station, Newstalk.[citation needed]
Closure[edit]
In July 2011 the closure of Cork Student News was announced via Facebook.[citation needed] The website's closure was undertaken in order to focus the writers' efforts on an upcoming national student news website for which it had just received notice of obtaining incubation office space. Although the website is currently inactive, no final decision has been taken with regard to its future.[citation needed]
