The Link has published on a weekly or twice-weekly basis since it was formed in 1980 with the merger of the Loyola News and The Georgian, the newspapers at Concordia’s predecessors Loyola College and Sir George Williams University, respectively. According to its website, The Link has reached over 40,000 students and 5,000 members of the university faculty and staff. It has been printing 8,000 copies of its newspaper every Tuesday.

“While newspapers are struggling, magazines are booming, becoming more and more prominent in the industry,” a blog post on the newspaper’s website explains.
