The Stony Brook Press

The Stony Brook Press is a biweekly student-run feature newspaper at Stony Brook University. Founded in 1979, the Press is known for its hard-hitting investigative reporting on social issues and humor. The Press was created as an alternative to the Stony Brook Statesman, the "official" student newspaper. In its early days, the Press featured exclusive interviews with prominent political figures including Amiri Baraka, Abbie Hoffman, Ralph Nader, and Al D'Amato. The paper still serves as an important public forum for political debate in the university community.
