How to Stay Informed with Felix's Latest Articles

To keep up with Felix, Imperial College's student newspaper, start on the homepage: the Editor's picks and Latest sections surface recent stories, and a subscribe option appears among the site's signals for staying informed. The site publishes in English (en-GB) across news, science, culture, opinion, analysis, sports and reviews, with each article showing a publication date and an estimated read time so you can judge how current and how long a piece is before committing.

Start with the homepage sections

The homepage is organised around a few recurring blocks rather than a single chronological feed:

• Editor's picks — a curated selection of stories the editorial team wants to highlight.
• Latest — the most recent articles across sections.
• Stay informed — a prompt to subscribe or otherwise keep up with updates; this is where the site's subscribe signal appears.

If you only want a quick sense of what's new, scan Latest. If you want the pieces Felix considers most worth your time, start with Editor's picks.

What the current front page looks like

The homepage at the time of writing carried items such as:

This illustrates the range: short news briefs of a minute or two sit alongside longer science and analysis pieces of about five minutes.

Use the subscribe option

The site's own signals include a subscribe prompt, grouped with "Stay informed" messaging. That is the intended route for readers who want updates pushed to them rather than checking the homepage manually.

What the available information does not establish: the price of a subscription, whether any tier is free, whether an account or login is required, or which payment platform handles it. Treat the subscribe link as the place to find those terms rather than assuming free access. If cost matters to you, open the subscribe page first and read the terms before entering any details.

Follow coverage by topic

Felix's coverage is broad, and the section labels are the simplest way to narrow it:

• News — Imperial and UK student news, funding, spinouts, university partnerships.
• Science — research demonstrations and lab stories from the College.
• Culture — arts, reviews and cultural commentary.
• Opinion and analysis — argument-driven pieces, including commentary on subjects like venture capital.
• Sports — coverage listed among the paper's core beats.

If you care about one beat, check that section rather than the whole front page; the homepage mixes everything together.

Judge recency and length before reading

Two cues on each article help you decide quickly:

1. The date (e.g. "15 Oct 2026") tells you how fresh the story is. For fast-moving news like funding rounds or grant deadlines, check the date before acting on it.
2. The read time (e.g. "1 min read", "5 min read") tells you the commitment. Briefs suit a quick scan; five-minute pieces suit a proper sit-down.

Neither cue is a substitute for reading the piece, but together they let you triage a homepage of mixed content in under a minute.

A practical routine

• Daily or weekly check: open the homepage, read Latest for anything new, then skim Editor's picks for the highlights you might have missed.
• Topic-focused: go straight to your section (News, Science, Culture, Sports) and work down by date.
• Hands-off: use the subscribe option so updates reach you; confirm the terms on that page first.
• Before acting on a story: verify the article date, especially for deadlines, grants or funding news.

One caveat worth keeping in mind: Felix is a student newspaper, so coverage reflects student journalism — useful for campus news and Imperial-related developments, but check primary sources (the university, the company, the funder) before relying on a detail for anything consequential.
