The Griff

The Griff is MacEwan University’s student magazine in Edmonton, with current reporting on local musicians, venues and campus music events.

The Griff is MacEwan University’s student publication in downtown Edmonton. It began as a campus newspaper in 2011, became a magazine in 2015 and now publishes online alongside seven print issues from September through April, excluding December. The outlet discloses that it operates below full capacity from April through September, but its site continued publishing current campus and Edmonton reporting through July 2026. Its Culture section carries current music reporting. A March 29, 2026 original feature examines the Edmonton music scene through interviews with local venue operators, musicians and MacEwan music students, spanning punk, folk, indie, rock, R&B and jazz. January coverage also reports on MacEwan’s Winter Fest concert and the university’s Music Club. The outlet describes its mandate as covering MacEwan’s city-centre campus, downtown Edmonton and matters relevant to MacEwan students. Its About and Contact page explicitly invites news tips through a general organization-controlled inbox. MusicList represents that designated inbox as a direct no-fee news-tip route, not as guaranteed coverage or an artist-release review service. The separate contributor program involves newsroom participation and contains student-focused expectations, so its signup form, coordinating-editor address and section-editor contacts are not represented as artist routes. Named staff contacts, personal advertising contacts, other role inboxes, forms, phone numbers and street-address details are excluded.
