The Nassau Weekly

The Nassau Weekly

The Nassau Weekly is a weekly student newspaper of Princeton University. Published every Friday, the paper contains a blend of campus, local, and national news, reviews of films and bands, original art, fiction and poetry, and other college-oriented material, notably including "Verbatim," a weekly overheard-on-campus column. The paper's layout was updated in 2008; additions include a revamped Fifth Column (this space was formerly reserved for a cartoon) and a series of news-bites known collectively as the 'Week in Review.'

The paper was co-founded in 1979 by Robert Faggen, a professor of literature at Claremont-McKenna College, Marc Fisher, a columnist for the Washington Post, and David Remnick, currently editor of The New Yorker. The Editors-in-Chief for 2008 are Colin Pfeiffer, Chris Schlegel, and Max Maduka.

It is affectionately known as the "The Nass." Alumni include The Nation editor-in-chief Katrina vanden Heuvel, Vanity Fair national editor Todd Purdum, Television Without Pity cofounder Sarah D. Bunting, Slate.com television critic Troy Patterson, New York Times reporter Nicholas Confessore, New York Times reporter David Kirkpatrick and Washington Post staff writer Theola Labbé.

On September 26, 2008, "The Daily Princetonian" reported that, due to financial problems and "a fundamental staff schism," the Nassau Weekly is in the midst of discussions to merge operations with the campus radio station WPRB.
