The Bull & Bear

The Bull & Bear is a student-run magazine at McGill University.[1] Founded in 2003, the magazine was initially conceived as a platform for the voice of students in the Desautels Faculty of Management. In 2012, the magazine widened its scope to include McGill affairs and Montreal-wide news. The Bull & Bear publishes articles online on a rolling basis, and prints one issue per semester.

Today, The Bull & Bear publishes articles in four sections: News, Arts & Culture, Opinion, and Business & Technology. It also publishes a weekly podcast on campus affairs named Office Hours and provides media services for McGill clubs and Montreal-based organizations.[2]

Organizational Structure

The Bull & Bear is made up of approximately 70 staff members who work on a volunteer basis. The publication is composed of six portfolios: Editorial, Business, Media, Web and Layout. The publication is led by the executive editor and six managing editors (one per portfolio). The editorial board, which oversees the direction of editorial activities, is composed of the executive editor, managing editor(s), and 12 editors.

Operations

The Bull & Bear operates within McGill's Management Undergraduate Society (MUS). As such, the MUS receives all revenues earned by The Bull & Bear, and pays for all expenses incurred by The Bull & Bear. Unlike most Canadian student publications, there is no dedicated student fee levy for the publication: however, all undergraduate management students pay a semesterly fee levy to the MUS, and the society uses part of this levy to provide ongoing financial support to all of its organizations. The Bull & Bear submits a budget to the MUS at the beginning of each academic year, including projected revenues and expenses, which are then approved by the MUS. The publication's revenues are generally received from advertising, sponsorship, and photography services. Expenses may include issue printing, web hosting, and branded materials.
