'''''On The Record''''' (formerly '''''The Ryersonian''''') is the masthead news title produced by journalism students at [[Toronto Metropolitan University]] in [[Toronto]], Canada. Students produce daily news for the publication's website, live-blog local events relevant to students and broadcast TV news, also available on the website, at least once a week. |
|||
Students in their fourth year of the school's print stream are required to report, edit, photograph and produce the issue, and work on the masthead for 6 week blocks. |
|||
Select news content is also published, in print, once a week, and distributed on campus on Wednesdays throughout the school year. |
|||
==Controversies== |
|||
''On The Record'' accepts submissions from the entire Toronto Metropolitan University student body. It's also a "capstone course" - meaning it's one of several paths through the final year of the Bachelor of Journalism program for students. Students who take this path edit, produce and write for the masthead in either a part time or full-time basis for one term. Students in the Master's of Journalism program can also take this path. |
|||
Several editions in the 2006-07 year addressed issues of on-campus racial tension. In November 2006 it was reported that a group called "I'm a White Minority @ Ryerson" was formed on Facebook, the popular online networking site[http://www.ryersonline.ca/articles/926/1/White-power-Campus-group-stirs-race-debate/Page1.html]. The controversy snowballed as known white supremacist, and leader of the [[Nationalist Party of Canada]] [[Don Andrews]], a Ryerson alum, was profiled on the front page of the March 21 edition[http://www.ryersonline.ca/articles/1580/1/Facing-off-with-hate/Page1.html]. He defended the Facebook group's rights to form a white culture student group. |
|||
== History == |
|||
Some criticized the paper for the story's poor timing, as March 21 is also the [[International Day for the Elimination of Racism]]. In particular, the Ryersonian was accused of generating the news through its coverage of the facebook group, which was considered by some to be a joke and not news-worthy. The Ryersonian's coverage attracted the attention of racists on the Internet, who posted on forums, and were then reported on again by the Ryersonian, attracting more Internet attention, which was further reported on. When [[Don Andrews]] commented on the story on his website, the Ryersonian sought out his comment, not only on the facebook group, but on his world-view in general. [[The Eyeopener]], Ryerson's other student newspaper and competitor to the Ryersonian, ran an editorial [[http://www.theeyeopener.com/article/3319]] critical of the Ryersonian's coverage and ran a spoof issue lampooning the coverage of racists by the Ryersonian. |
|||
In 2010, ''The Ryersonian'' began [[Twitter|tweeting]] from @theryersonian and developed a Facebook page, The Ryersonian. |
|||
At the start of the 2011 academic year, The Ryersonian transformed into a title that aims to produce news and features in all media to meet the needs of students in a new curriculum that had retired the old print, TV and online streams to better reflect the way media are evolving globally. |
|||
In response, students and members of the RSU protested by gathering up editions of the paper and dumping them in front of the Ryersonian's office. A blog known as '''Ryersonian Watch''' [http://www.ryersonian.ca/] was also set up by an anonymous student using the domain ryersonian.ca. The blog only contained a handful of posts. The controversy led sympathizers of the [[Ryerson Students' Union]] to call for harsher restrictions on what could be published in the Ryersonian. |

On The Record (formerly The Ryersonian) is the masthead news title produced by journalism students at Toronto Metropolitan University in Toronto, Canada. Students produce daily news for the publication's website, live-blog local events relevant to students and broadcast TV news, also available on the website, at least once a week.
Select news content is also published, in print, once a week, and distributed on campus on Wednesdays throughout the school year.
On The Record accepts submissions from the entire Toronto Metropolitan University student body. It's also a "capstone course" - meaning it's one of several paths through the final year of the Bachelor of Journalism program for students. Students who take this path edit, produce and write for the masthead in either a part time or full-time basis for one term. Students in the Master's of Journalism program can also take this path.
History
[edit]In 2010, The Ryersonian began tweeting from @theryersonian and developed a Facebook page, The Ryersonian.
At the start of the 2011 academic year, The Ryersonian transformed into a title that aims to produce news and features in all media to meet the needs of students in a new curriculum that had retired the old print, TV and online streams to better reflect the way media are evolving globally.
Several editions in the 2006–07 year addressed issues of on-campus racial tension. In November 2006, it was reported that a group called "I'm a White Minority @ Ryerson" was formed on Facebook, the popular online networking site.[2] The controversy snowballed as known white supremacist, and leader of the Nationalist Party of Canada Don Andrews, a Ryerson alum, was profiled on the front page of the March 21 edition.[3] He defended the Facebook group's rights to form a white culture student group.
Some criticized the paper for the story's poor timing, as March 21 is also the International Day for the Elimination of Racism. The Eyeopener, TMU's other student newspaper and competitor to the Ryersonian, ran an editorial[4] critical of the Ryersonian's coverage and ran a spoof issue lampooning the coverage of racists by the Ryersonian.
In response, students and members of the RSU conducted a one-time protest by gathering up editions of the paper and dumping them in front of the Ryersonian's office. A blog known as Ryersonian Watch[5] was also set up by an anonymous student. The blog only contained a handful of posts highly critical of The Ryersonian and sympathetic to the paper's competitor, The Eyeopener. The controversy led members of the Ryerson Students' Union to call for harsher restrictions on what could be published in the Ryersonian. However, since The Ryersonian is produced by students of TMU's journalism school and has no connection financially or editorially from the RSU, the move was seen[by whom?] as a way to retaliate against prior coverage that didn't show the RSU in a positive light.
Furthermore, a debate was held between Judy Rebick and the managing editor of The Ryersonian to discuss the reasons between how and why the article was published. The debate helped to explain the editorial reasoning as to why editors at the newspaper decided that the Facebook group and Don Andrews were worth covering and helped to eliminate any notion that The Ryersonian was biased in any way in its reporting.
In June 2021, what was then Ryerson University's school of journalism announced that it would be renaming the publication as well as the Ryerson Review of Journalism before the 2021–2022 school year to remove any reference to Egerton Ryerson, an architect of the Canadian Indian residential school system. The announcement was made a day after a vigil was held on campus commemorating 215 dead Indigenous children found at Kamloops Indian Residential School.[6]
In September 2021, the newspaper changed its name to On The Record.[7]
