The Brandeis Hoot was established in 2005 as 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 The New York Times, The Boston Globe and National Public Radio. The Hoot publishes every Friday during the semester and distributes the newspaper throughout the Brandeis campus and Waltham area.
