The Irish Rover

The Irish Rover An independent, Catholic newspaper serving God, Country, and Notre Dame since AD 2003. Defend the Faith and honorable traditions of this great university;

2.

Established in 2003, the Irish Rover remains an independent, non-profit, student publication devoted to preserving the Catholic identity of Notre Dame. As expressed in the Rover’s constitution, three objectives guide our editorial policy:

1. Articulate conservative principles;

3. Engage in collegial debate. The Rover seeks to facilitate part of what the university’s mission statement desires in

its community: “a forum where through free inquiry and open discussion the various lines of Catholic thought may intersect with all the forms of knowledge found in the arts, sciences, professions, and every other area of human scholarship and creativity.” To provide this forum, the Rover offers a distinctive kind of coverage that includes campus news, religion, politics, culture, humor, and sports.
