History

''The College View'' was founded in 1999, and went under the name of ''The Bullsheet'', a reference to the other DCU publication An Tarbh, for a while. The newspaper has changed layout several times during its history. It has always been tabloid-size. In January 2022 The College View affiliated with the DCU Media Production Society, after the liquidation of the Journalism Society.

Administration

The newspaper is run entirely voluntarily and is affiliated to the DCU Media Production Society. In addition to advertising revenue, The College View is funded by a grant from the Society Life Committee, however the newspaper remains fully independent.
