The student magazine
broadsheet was published in Cambridge until the early 1980s when commercial sponsorship acquired by
Varsity, another student newspaper, drove
broadsheet out of print. In 1994,
Eric Griffiths led a brief, sadly doomed effort to resurrect
broadsheet, raising funds from, amongst others,
Christopher Ricks and
Germaine Greer.
Martin Rowson (cartoonist laureate to Ken Livingstone) supplied a drawing for the front cover.
The new broadsheet was edited by Joanna Droop. Contributors included Nick Hallam, Chris Goode, Tom Hampson, Jerome de Groot, Eddie Sterne and Sophie Ratcliffe.
