Part of Stag Media Group, incorperating Stag Radio, The Stag and Stag TV. The newspaper was established under the name barefacts in 1967. In 1968, the University was to move from its home in Battersea Park, South-West London, to Stag Hill, in Guildford, Surrey. Concerns were raised at a lunchtime Students Union meeting over troubles in communication between the students on each site while the move was in progress. Outgoing Union President, Bob Matthews, suggested a one-page newsletter covering both campuses, which would carry messages by clubs and societies, as well as general notices from the students' union. The first few hundred issues were usually edited by the Union Executive, before an annual editor was appointed. The last edition published under the name barefacts was in September 2008. Then-editor Claire Worgan chose to rebrand the newspaper as The Stag.
