About Us

The Muse is Memorial University of Newfoundland’s Student-run publication.

Established in 1950, The Muse is rooted in its dedication to providing students with news that is relevant, reliable, and accurate.

Print publication ceased in 2017, excluding The Muse’s brief return to print with a special 75th Anniversary magazine published in January of 2026. Despite ever-changing media landscapes, The Muse remains committed to keeping MUN students and community members informed through web-journalism and social media.
