NybroTidende is an important source of information for everyone living at Nybrogård Kollegiet. Besides the stan- dard announcements such as the notices of agenda for the upcom- ing Residents' Council Meeting, as well as the Summary of the meetings, all residents have the opportunity – free of charge – to contribute with articles and other kinds of material for publication in the gazette. The contribution must contain room number and/or a designation of the relevant authority (secretariat/subletting/bike workshop, etc.). The article must have a certain level of relevance to the dorm. Articles may be sent by e-mail to [email protected] with any applicable images attached. NybroTidende is published at the end of every month. The deadline for submitting articles and etc. to NybroTidende is the 20th of the preceding month. Jakob R52, Mikkel R61 and Emma S24 (editors)

Reviews at NybroTidende! As a new feature at NybroTidende, we will now bring reviews of especially movies, but also fiction in the gazette. No movie or book is too poor to be reviewed, as long as you believe that others may benefit from the review. If you, for instance, think that there’s a movie worth seeing, then by all means send a review of it to the editorial staff at NybroTidende. We also accept more ”critical” re- views, of course.

There are no specific rules regarding the reviews here at Ny- broTidende, so there is plenty of room for your own personal style of writing, but it’s obviously important to argue properly for your point of view.
