News and Investigations
The News and Investigations Team spend anywhere between two weeks and six months researching, interviewing, and writing the very best investigations into life at UCL. The section has covered everything from the recent UCL decision to leave Stonewall to sexual harassment and commercialisation.
If you have something you believe is worth investigating or want to get a story published, contact us via email at investigations@cheesegratermagazine.org or via the anonymous submissions form.
