The Brandeis Hoot, or simply, The Hoot, is the community newspaper serving the Brandeis University campus. [1] Founded in 2005 by Leslie Pazan, Igor Pedan, and Daniel Silverman, it features articles written for, by and about the members of the Brandeis community. The paper's current Editors-in-Chief are Cooper Gottfried and Rachel Rosenfield. [2] Doubling in size since its inception, The Hoot is read worldwide and has been cited by national media outlets, including The New York Times, [3] The Boston Globe [4] and NPR. [5] Publishing every Friday during the semester, The Hoot is distributed throughout the Brandeis community. The paper's motto is "To acquire wisdom, one must observe." [1] The Hoot publishes five sections (News, Arts, Opinions [formerly Impressions], Features, and Sports) and an editorial each week.
The Hoot was formed in 2004, when a group of editors at The Justice left because they felt that The Justice was not accurately representing the views of the Brandeis community.[ citation needed ]
