'''''AMU Journal''''' is an independent student and alumni-run educational community and media organisation for [[Aligarh Muslim University]]. It was founded in 2016 by Hashim Azmi to raise campus issues and to provide news and information about events at the university.<ref name="News18-2Feb25">{{cite news |title=Aligarh Muslim University Student Start Online Portal to Disseminate AMU-Related News |url=https://www.news18.com/news/education-career/aligarh-muslim-university-student-start-online-portal-to-disseminate-amu-related-news-4367276.html |access-date=2 February 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=AMU Journal launches 1st student-run Newsletter in collaboration with TPO AMU |url=https://ummid.com/news/2023/october/21-10-2023/amu-journal-launches-1st-student-run-newsletter-in-collaboration-with-tpo-amu.html |access-date=2 February 2025}}</ref>

==Website Launch==
On 17 October 2021, the Proctor and [[Public relations officer]] re-launched the ''AMU Journal'' website. While launching the website, AMU Proctor ''prof Mohd Wasim Ali'' said the AMU Journal would be used to counter misinformation about AMU.<ref name="News18-2Feb25"/>
[[Aligarh Muslim University|AMU]] has long been a target of fake news propaganda, such as the claim that AMU students are forced to fast during Ramadan. In reality, the university's [[Refectory|mess]] remained closed in the afternoon during Ramadan due to low demand for lunch. However, the allegation that this was done to force non-Muslims to fast was a misleading post-truth narrative.<ref>{{cite news |title=Fake News: Decoding Reports About AMU Forcing Hindu Students to Fast |url=https://thewire.in/media/allegations-amu-forcing-non-muslims-fast-reflect-media-uses-post-truth-advantage |access-date=2 February 2025}}</ref>
