The Absynthe is a student paper at Trent. It was founded by Brad Harkness, Derek Fisk, Kenny Giffen, Neil Horne, and Peter Read in 1999. The paper was established as an alternative to Arthur. The paper's format underwent a significant transformation when Todd Parker became Absynthes editor-in-chief in 2001, and it has since established itself as a venue for discussion and debate within the Trent student body. It is a submissions-based publication and is reliant on members of the Trent community to provide content. It is distributed free of charge every two weeks with an average circulation of 1000 copies. Absynthe is published by Absynthe Media, and receives a refundable levy from each full-time student of Trent University.

Toast is a summer newspaper affiliated with Arthur, Trent Univeristy's student and community newspaper. Toast was founded by Nathaniel Christopher in summer 2004 in response to a need for a summer publication at Trent. Arthur ends publication in April and resumes in September, leaving an increasily large population of Trent students and community members without a newspaper. In summer 2005 Toast published three issues on a biweekly basis, up from two on a monthly basis in 2004. Toast is similar to Arthur in scope and content but with a slightly irreverent, cheeky twist. In 2004 the publication was edited by Nathaniel Christopher and Cody Skinner and in 2005 it was edited by Nathaniel Christopher and Brendon Mroz. Toast will resume publication in June, 2006. Toast has a circulation of 1500.
