The Queen's Journal is the main student-run newspaper at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. The paper was founded in 1873 and has been continually publishing ever since.[1] It is as old as The Harvard Crimson, the oldest continuously published student newspaper in the United States. The Journal is published twice a week, usually on Tuesdays and Fridays. The 2017–2018 editor-in-chief is Joe Cattana.[2] The publication is an editorially autonomous paper, guaranteed by the Alma Mater Society of Queen's University and its constitution and by-laws.[3]

The paper maintains a friendly rivalry with the campus' humour paper Golden Words. This is best exemplified by the annual publication of a fake edition of The Journal, containing outlandish stories, by Golden Words.

Journal alumni can often be found working for many of North America's major newspapers and media outlets. Notable names include Adam Shortt, Charlotte Whitton, former ABC News correspondent Jeffrey Kofman, Robertson Davies, Al Jazeera's Ali Velshi, former Toronto Star editor-in-chief Giles Gherson, former Ottawa Citizen editor-in-chief Scott Anderson and The Globe and Mail's former editor-in-chief John Stackhouse and author, former Toronto Star columnist, and academic James Laxer.
