Palatinate is the official student newspaper of Durham University and is one of Britain's oldest student publications, having celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2008. The paper was named NUS/ Independent Student Newspaper of the Year in 2001.
The name of the newspaper derives from the colour Palatinate, a shade of purple closely associated with the university and derived from County Durham's political history as a County Palatine.
Palatinate is published on a fortnightly basis during term time, and its editors-in-chief are elected on a per-term basis. Although the Durham Students Union technically subsidises the paper, revenues from advertising are greater than the cost of production, ensuring that the publication is profitable. The paper reports news about Durham University and its sporting activities in addition to publishing local news, arts coverage, and a variety of features and a comment section. Since 2004, Palatinate has been freely available and is now distributed to a variety of locations across the main university campus. Also, since 2007, the publication has been made available online. Queen's Campus in Stockton-on-Tees also receives copies. Each edition is also printed in full colour.
Palatinate or 'palatinate purple' is a "light purple or lavender" colour associated with Durham University. It is used in the academic dress of Durham University and in the faculties of medicine and law at Newcastle University (being a former college of Durham University). A separate colour, 'palatinate blue', is derived from the Coat of Arms of the County of Durham. The name 'Palatinate' in both instances alludes to the historic status of Durham as a County Palatine. The shade of purple are used for Durham (and Newcastle) academic hoods is different from that used for Durham University's corporate branding.
Palatinate is a German wine-growing region (Weinbaugebiet) in the area of Bad Dürkheim, Neustadt an der Weinstraße, and Landau in Rhineland-Palatinate. Before 1993, it was known as Rhine Palatinate (Rheinpfalz). With under cultivation in 2008, the region is the second largest wine region in Germany after Rheinhessen. There are about 6,800 vintners producing around 6.5 million hectolitres of wine annually.
Palatinates are awards given by Durham University to its athletes or former athletes who demonstrate the following qualities: 'Ability of a High Standard' (international representation), 'Service to a Club' and 'Attitude and Commitment'. It is similar to ' blues' awarded at many other British universities but with slightly different prerequisites.
The award is called a 'Palatinate' rather than a 'Blue' because palatinate (a shade of purple) is the historical colour of the university. A different colour, palatinate blue, is the colour of County Durham.
The highest award is the Full Palatinate, given to those who have represented their country whilst at University and have, at the same time, also made a significant contribution to their club.
Half Palatinate awards are given to those who have either competed at a very high level, but not made a significant contribution to their club, or held a position of responsibility but lacked the necessary standard of sporting ability.
The awards are notoriously difficult to achieve, and differ from the awarding of colours by other Universities in that a Palatinate is not awarded merely for representing the University. The awarding of Palatinates is decided by a committee which is appointed each year.
Honorary Palatinate awards recognise the success of former Durham students who have gone on to greater things within the field of sport. Honorary Palatinate awards are presented by the Vice Chancellor at the Annual Palatinate Dinner. In recent years, Honorary Palatinates have been awarded to alumni-sportsmen such as Nasser Hussain, Jonathan Edwards and Will Carling.
