<div class="fr-view"><p>Welcome to <em>The Hoot</em>, an online magazine run by OU students for OU students.</p>
<p>Students can freely create articles, share stories and publish polls and quizzes, simply by creating an account and submitting to the editing team.</p>
<p>Why not share your OU experiences, a review of your favourite book or even quiz students on the lyrics from your favourite music genre?</p>
<p><em>The Hoot</em> was launched on 8 April 2019 by Fanni Zombor (Open SU&#039;s previous Vice President Engagement) and we are proud that our magazine is an inclusive space.</p>
<p>We still produce a PDF magazine biannually for students in secure environments (SiSE), but now also include a full colour edition through Virtual Campus. This collaborative project between Open SU&rsquo;s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion team and the Digital Communications team brings in the highlights of our online magazine, as well as countless bespoke articles from SiSE students, student volunteers and staff. Our PDF edition is also shared on The Hoot after publication, with individual articles also available on The Hoot.</p>

We’re so excited!!
Well done Fanni and all other members of the OUSA who were involved in producing the Hoot.
Wow! This is a great online magazine. Well done to all!
Would you advise whether copyright for pieces uploaded remain with the writer, please.
Hi Polly 👋 Copyright remains with the writer, yes. Some authors prefer to reinforce this by stating so at the end of their submitted piece.
Thank you, appreciated.
Well done.
