The Peak

The Peak is Simon Fraser University’s independent student newspaper in Burnaby, with current original music and arts reporting for SFU’s student community.

The Peak is Simon Fraser University’s independent student newspaper, published by the Peak Publications Society. Its official About page describes a weekly newspaper created by students for students and published every Monday across SFU’s Burnaby, Surrey and Vancouver locations. The publication’s office is at Maggie Benston Centre, which Simon Fraser University identifies as a Burnaby-campus building, supporting Burnaby as the operating city. The site carried current reporting through July 2026 and published an original Music-section article on July 19 about video game soundtracks, piano scores, synth production and dance-pop, satisfying the current music-editorial gate. The About and Contribute pages explicitly centre SFU students, the campus community, student contributors and the student editorial board. The Contribute page is a newsroom-participation workflow for SFU students to write, photograph, illustrate or assist with multimedia; it is not represented as an artist, release or organization coverage route. The Masthead lists named staff and section inboxes, while the footer publishes advertising and promotional inboxes; none is designated as an open editorial music-submission route, so no contact is published and the policy remains not stated. The multimedia archive’s newest dated items are from 2024, so podcast and video-editorial credit is not awarded. Named staff, all inboxes, phone numbers and street-address details are not published.
