About Us

The Hoot was established in 2005 because students felt that Brandeis needed a community newspaper written about, by, and for the members of the Brandeis community. Since the paper’s founding, The Hoot’s growth as a newspaper – doubling in size since its inception – reflects its immediate influence on the Brandeis community. Articles from The Hoot are read worldwide and have been cited by national media outlets including National Public Radio.

The Hoot publishes every Friday during the semester and distributes the newspaper throughout the Brandeis campus and Waltham area.
