The Broadsheetwas a student newspaper established in 2017 to cover matters that concerned the student body, not to be confused with the unrelated 1930s-1940s "The Broadsheet" RISD student publication. A particular focus was on the Social Equity and Inclusion Action Plan developed under RISD President Rosanne Somerson. RISD Archives holds the first two issues of The Broadsheet; it is unclear if any further issues were published.
