The University of Bayreuth has had its own student newspaper for over 20 years: it used to be called Der Tip and was recently renamed Der Falter. This independent student newspaper at the University of Bayreuth is put together strictly by students, and it does not operate under the direction of any other department or unit. Der Falter is distributed in front of the cafeteria every Thursday during the semester at around lunchtime, and the paper has always remained true to its goal of keeping its loyal readers up to date. ...more
