La Rotonde is the francophone, student-run and independent newspaper of the University of Ottawa, founded on 21 November 1932 and describing itself as the oldest French-language university newspaper outside Quebec. A staff of fifteen covers local news, arts and culture, sports and opinion across text, video, photo and social media.
