The Grape

The Grape

The Grape is the "alternative" student newspaper for Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio. It was founded in 1998 by John Byrne and Jesse Kanson-Benanav, the former opting to name the paper after his hometown paper, "The Concord Grape". [http://www.oberlin.edu/stupub/ocreview/2004/12/3/news/offthecuff.html] It publishes every other Thursday from its office in the basement of Burton Hall, and typically is broken into Features, Arts, Bad Habits, and Opinions sections.

While the other major paper on campus, The Review, is typically considered the paper of record, The Grape is seen by many at Oberlin as the paper that better reflects the sensibilities of the student body, combining a mixture of quality journalism and countercultural attitude that is often found in free alternative weeklies (or in the Grape's case, biweekly). Along with its regular issues, it publishes two "special issues" per year: one during Freshman Orientation Week (called the "Disorientation Issue") and one during Commencement Week. The paper's staff also hosts an intramural softball team every Spring called "Statutory Grape."
