Blitz is a student magazine published every week of Session and O-Week by Arc @ UNSW, based at the University of New South Wales<ref>UNSW A - Z Guide Blitz entry. Retrieved 31-08-07.</ref>. Blitz under this name first appeared in session 2, 1988, but a similar "what's on" style publication had been issued by the then University Union since the early 1970s. Initially it consisted of a simple sheet or two of paper, but it evolved into its current magazine style format in session 2 1994 <ref>UNSW Records & Archives Office http://www.recordkeeping.unsw.edu.au</ref> when a former editor from another student publication on campus, Tharunka, was hired to found a weekly "What's on" magazine.

Blitz typically covers the going's on around campus and conducts interviews and publishes stories relating to current student activities. It widely publicises Arc services and activities rather than cover political issues, with the exception of voluntary student unionism. However in 2004 an edition of Blitz was withdrawn by the student union because it contained a guide to rolling a joint. The editor Janet Duncan claimed there had been censorship of her editorial in the following issue.<ref>Student papers feel weight of censorship, The Australian, 16 November 2005</ref> Arc @ UNSW announced that the organisation would continue to publish the magazine after the introduction of voluntary student unionism in 2007.<ref>What is VSU?, B&T Magazine, 17 November 2006</ref>
