Open Call: The DODO Newspaper Issue Four
Deadline: Saturday, February 18th 2024
The DODO Newspaper invites you to take part in its 4th Issue!
The RCA has a long and rich history of student newspapers. This academic year, we are reviving The DODO, a printed paper to serve as a platform for RCA students to express their creativity, share their perspectives, and engage in meaningful discussion. We aim to cover a wide range of topics across the RCA community, including—but not limited to—culture, opinion, news, and the arts. Our aim is to provide a voice to the student community and showcase their talent and ideas: The DODO is a place to share the views from your branch of the RCA.
