The paper dates back to 1942, when the University's philosophy club began publishing its newsletter. The name was eventually changed to the Fulcrum, and it became the English newspaper for the students on the bilingual campus. Beginning in the 2003-2004 school year, the paper has begun referring to itself as the Fulcrum, rather than The Fulcrum, and the name on the cover is University of Ottawa's Fulcrum.
The newspaper covers news, culture, and sports information relevant to students, and contains a feature article or section each week. It is published weekly during the school year, and less regularly during exam and break periods.
The Fulcrum is not just an English version of La Rotonde, rather, the two are completely separate--and sometimes rivalling--entities. Both newspapers are members of the Canadian University Press (CUP).
