[edit] History and format
Student Impact was created form the merger of two former papers at the University of Bath, Spike and Sponge, which had been running for the previous 30 years. Currently, the paper runs on a fortnightly basis, with a readership of 10,000[citation needed] and a print run of 2,000.
The newspaper is split up into six sections, News, Comment, Features, Science, Entertainment and Sport. It is produced on a voluntary basis by the 10 editors and over 100 contributors.
