Revocation of Salient Magazine and ASPA’s press pass w/ Ethan Rogacion: 5th March, 2024.

Yesterday Salient Magazine, the University of Victoria’s student magazine, released a statement discussing the revocation of Salient’s parliamentary press pass. Salient had held the press pass on behalf of the Aotearoa Student Press Association, or ASPA. 

As such, revoking this pass for Salient affects student magazines across the country, including the University of Auckland’s Craccum magazine. 

Wire host Castor spoke to one of Salient’s news co-editors, Ethan Rogacion, about the revocation and what it means for student journalism.
