The Raccoon

The Raccoon is proud to be the most widely read student satire publication at the LSE*. With our roots in the @raccoononline account (go check it out – we are funny sometimes, promise) we have decided to expand our journalistic endeavours and become a society! We are dedicated to tackling the REAL issues plaguing the school community (e.g. the perplexing design of the LSE library staircase) through gritty exposés and thought-provoking articles.

If you’re still reading, and this sounds like your kind of thing, join us as we (hopefully) partake in..

• Pitch sessions and workshops where aspiring writers can contribute ideas and think up articles
• Improv social sessions where.. okay we don’t know exactly yet but it’ll be fun trust me
• Speaker sessions (maybe) from guests who are willing to talk to us for some reason
• Creating not just articles but also video news reports on-campus for the account
• And so much more! (If we have the budget for it)

So, if you want to take life less seriously (a controversial sentiment at this university) and write monumental stories about trivial happenings, the Raccoon’s the place for you!**

*We are also the only student satire publication at the LSE, but that’s besides the point.

**We are all so funny and cool please join the society
