The Campus (CCNY)

The Campus is the student newspaper of the City College of New York (CCNY).

History

The newspaper was established as a weekly newspaper[1] when CCNY opened its St. Nicolas Heights campus. Its first issue was September 30, 1907.[2]

Many students who later became notable journalists began their career at The Campus, including A. H. Raskin, Fred Hechinger, A. M. Rosenthal, and Michael Oreskes, all of whom wrote for the New York Times.[1] Melvin J. Lasky also wrote for The Campus as a student.[3]
