Canadian University Press is a non-profit cooperative and non-profit service owned by more than 50 student newspapers at Canadian high school. Founded in 1938, CUP is the world's oldest new student services and the oldest national student organization in North America. Many successful Canadian journalists start in the CUP and its member papers. CUP begins as a syndicated service that facilitates the sharing of transnational stories. The Newswire continued as a private function until 2010 when it turned into a competitive source for campus news in the form of online public wire at cupwire.ca.

CUP headquarters are in Toronto. Prior to April 1995, the headquarters was located in Ottawa. In Ottawa, CUP runs a printing company, called the Common Printing Group, which is jointly owned by the National Student Union, located in the same building as the CUP for several years.

The national conference, which also functions as an annual general meeting, is held once a year in different cities. Each member paper exercises one vote at the conference. The president and head of the national bureau are elected at a national conference, or NASH, while members of the regional CUPboard are selected through an online referendum, or at a regional conference held in spring. Each region has an annual event subsidy that can be used to organize events in the region, or together with other regions. This usually takes the form of regional conferences held in spring and fall. January 2011 will mark the first fully bilingual CUP national conference, in Montreal, hosted in part by McGill Daily and Le Delit.

The current structure for the CUP, of the permanent newswire offered for the University of Canada newspaper including the full-time president, was established at CUP 22 in Quebec City in 1959. Prior to this date the service was more lenient and more oriented to the exchange of clippings between papers. One delegate at CUP 22 is the future Canadian Prime Minister, Joe Clark, representing the University of Alberta paper, The Gateway.

CUP is divided into six areas: WRCUP (West, including British Columbia and Yukon), PNCUP (Prairies and North, including Alberta, Manitoba, Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Saskatchewan), ORCUP (Ontario), CUPbeq (Quebec), ARCUP (Atlantic) , including New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island), and PUC (Presse Universitaire Canadienne, including all French members regardless of geography). Other acronyms for the region include CUPberta (Alberta), and CCUP (Central CUP, Saskatchewan and Manitoba). It also has four special issue caucuses to promote diversity, address the lack of representation of marginalized groups and encourage discussion on social issues: Caucus Colors; Caucasian Defects; Queer, Trans and Allies Caucus; and Women's Caucus.

The member paper contributes articles to the CUP wire, which also runs stories written by CUP staff. There are news, features, opinions, art, sports, and graphics cables. After the story was edited by the head of the national bureau, they were available on the wire for publication in the CUP member newspaper.

CUP previously had a multi-market ad placement agency, Canadian University Press Media Services Limited, which operates as Campus Plus, which offers one-stop access to advertisers to student newspapers. Campus Plus declared bankruptcy in 2013. Until 2007, CUP was the only member of John H. McDonald's Journalism Foundation, a charity named after the first president of the CUP. Although the charity has been folded, it lives through the annual John H. McDonald Student Journalism Award.

In 2005, the CUP declared the last full week of January, Sunday to Saturday, will be observed as National Student Press Week to celebrate student achievements, diversity and freedom of the press.

Staf nasional dan regional

Now and in recent years, the head of the national bureau also serves as vice president of CUP. In the preceding few years, the national executive consists of three or four staff and also includes a national feature editor (who also holds the title of vice president) or author of national affairs. These staff held their positions at the listed conference and were elected at the previous conference. In the early days of the CUP, the title of president and secretary was given at a conference to the newspaper, which would then fill the role from among staff members.

Currently, the national office staff consists of a single national executive, Jane Lytvynenko, who combines the functions of the president and the head of the national bureau. Until the spring of 2014, the national office staff consisted of the president, who oversees the finances and administration of the CUP, and the head of the national bureau, which manages part-time editorial staff and curates CUP wire services.

The part-time editorial staff consists of six regional bureau chiefs (British Columbia, Prairies and Northern, Ontario, Ottawa, Quebec and Atlantic) and at least four section editors (art and features, opinions and humor, sport and France). CUP also employs a communications manager, translator, two special problem coordinators (queer and anti-racism). To organize a national conference each year, CUP hires two conference coordinators and one award coordinator.

Board of directors

Until the early 2000s, the CUP was managed and controlled between national conferences by only the president and other national office staff. While staff are asked to execute the wishes of the agreed members at the plenary, many major decisions can be made by the national office itself. After the Magazine issue, a movement pioneered by staff at Ontarion compiled and approved a motion calling for the creation of a CUP Board of Directors. Approved on NASH 63, the board guarantees each region at least one director. Each region with 20 or more paper members receives additional directors. All directors are elected at their regional spring conference plenary.

At NASH 69 in Vancouver, the CUP membership elects to add a position of deputy continuity to the Board of Directors as a voting member. Furthermore, at NASH 70 in Ottawa, this position was made an ex officio member of the Board of Directors. A staff member (President/NBC/Regional Director) from the previous year filled the position. It was created as an effort to stabilize the CUP leadership because it passes through changes almost every year.

Currently, the Board of Directors consists of six regional directors (Western, Prairies, Quebec, Atlantic, and two Ontario directors), together with national Francophone directors, industry advisers, and representatives of continuity.

Subsequent changes have changed the governance landscape on the CUP board of directors. At NASH78, the structure of the Board of Directors has been adjusted to the 12-member board, comprising the following positions;

Additional changes elected by membership include removing all industrial advisors from the council, and removing the President as paid staff members, but instead confirming the President as Chairman of the Board. Changes to relevant regulations are being prepared by the Board of Directors for NASH79.

Conference

Every year since its inception, CUP has held a national conference, also known as NASH. The conference is moving across the country and serves as an organization's annual general meeting. It also features a number of high profile training seminars and high profile speakers. New Year's Eve party is sometimes a tough event, because the new year is sounded five times to mark each country time zone. Putting out a motel fire made a party silencer in North Bay, Ontario, on the last day of 1983.

NASH also serves as a platform for the John H. McDonald Awards for Excellence in Student Journalism, also known as Johnnies, since 2003. Inspired by the National Newspaper Awards, the vision of this award is to "celebrate and appreciate the benefits that can be found in many university publications and academies across the country. "Any student whose work has been published in a student publication may be nominated for an award. There are currently 21 award categories, covering different types of reporting (such as news, art, features, sports, opinions, and some of their French counterparts), art and photography, design, and new categories for the Most Promising Student Journalists.

The latest national conference, NASH78, is hosted by CUP staff and held in Toronto, Ontario. At the conference, Brunswickan (University of New Brunswick) successfully bid to host the next conference, NASH78, in Fredericton, New Brunswick. NASH79 is scheduled on 4-8 January 2017 under the theme "START UP".

CUP also encourages members' papers to hold smaller regional conferences every year for Western, Ontario, Prairie & amp; Northern Territory, Quebec, and Atlantic. A regional conference was recently held in the Ontario and Atlantic region in 2016.

Partnership

In April 2013, CUP signed a three-year agreement with a new national advertising partner called FREE Media. The marketing group was co-founded as a division of a FREE independent national advertising agency by two CUP alumni, former Gateway business staff Ashleigh Brown and Vikram Seth.

The previous national advertising representative of CUP was Campus Plus (officially Canadian University Press Media Services Ltd.) established in 1980 and closed in June 2013 after declaring bankruptcy. Campus Plus' bankillcy trustee MNP takes over collection in the following months and issues payments to member paper.

CUP partners with CWA Canada, a division of Communications Workers of America, a union that "advances the economic interests of its members, raises their living standards, and seeks to ensure equal employment and human rights." CUP members can join CWA Canada as an associate member to join their mentoring program with professional journalists, attend training and networking courses and events, and seek opportunities for internships and freelance work. CWA representatives for CUP also help members co-ordinate training opportunities in their publications.

CUP also has partnerships with Journalists for Human Rights, Marketwired, and ScribbleLive.

The 2014 financial crisis

In March 2014, CUP launched a 42-day fundraising campaign on the Indiegogo platform in an effort to raise $ 50,000 toward its operational budget after finding itself in a financial crisis. Starting March 1, all 12 CUP part-time staff members (including section editors and county bureaus) were dismissed, and the president and head of the national bureau received their pay cuts and benefits.

After an audit by the Canadian Revenue Agency, CUP was forced to pay $ 9,000 for the wrong tax. It was found that the organization projected a third consecutive deficit, this time for $ 7,000. With all of his savings now being spent, the CUP states that "without reserves to withdraw, it is vital for the existence of CUP to take action now."

The crisis came shortly after the remaining 10 CUP members in September 2013, resulting in a 15 percent drop in membership numbers, due to complaints over high membership fees. CUP may also see the problem further as a number of member publications have now established a service called National University Wire similar to and rival CUP wire. The newest CUP national conference in Edmonton, Alta. also drew less than the expected number of delegates and therefore did not generate as much income as expected. In addition, the death of Campus Plus leaves CUP with fewer dividends to generate revenue. With all this happening in a relatively short period of time, the CUP lost more than $ 70,000 in three years and ended up in a financial and existential crisis with just over $ 1,500 in the bank before the fundraising campaign.
