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
