The Stony Brook Statesman
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Stony Brook Statesman is a student newspaper serving the State University of New York at Stony Brook in New York's Long Island. It was founded in the fall of 1957 as the Sucolian, for the "State University Campus On Long Island" at Oyster Bay, the university's name and location until 1962. The name was changed to The Statesman in February 1958.
The newspaper is published twice a week during the academic year and until recently was also published bimonthly during the summer months, though it did not publish at all in the summers of 2005 and 2006. It currently prints 6,000 issues per run, at two runs per week. It is distributed to all campus locations, the Hospital, and over 70 off campus locations. As late as 1984, the Statesman was published three times per week during the academic year.
The Statesman Association was formed as a non-profit organization approximately 1970 and was incorporated in 1975. The paper is funded by advertising and additional funds from the student government.
