About Us

For 50 years, The Paper has served as a medium through which students, faculty, and members of the local community could have a conversation. As part of The City College of New York, founded by students of color in a time of social upheaval and as a media organization, The Paper fights to incite communication through words, images, and demonstrations. As a publication for unheard voices, The Paper focuses on pertinent issues facing marginalized communities with relevance and agency setting focused on our shared experience. As a valuable resource for The City College of New York students, faculty and neighbors, The Paper relies on the voices, membership, and presence of our surrounding community. With content created using quality media and a sense of activism, journalistic bravery, and communicative integrity, The Paper seeks to uncover the truth, self-evident or not, and speak truth to power.
