The Stony Brook Press is a student-run news and feature publication at the Stony Brook University published fortnightly.
Founded in 1979, the Press was created as an alternative to the Stony Brook Statesman, the official newspaper of the university.
In its early days, the Press featured exclusive interviews with political figures including Amiri Baraka, Abbie Hoffman, Ralph Nader, and Al D'Amato. The paper currently has a blend of journalism, alternative thinking, satire and features.
In October 2011, the Press announced a merger with rival campus publication Think Magazine. Both publications merged under the Press name later that month, with the Think Magazine members becoming part of the Press web staff.

Famous quotes containing the words stony and/or brook:
“Consider the islands bearing the names of all the saints, bristling with forts like chestnut-burs, or Echinidæ, yet the police will not let a couple of Irishmen have a private sparring- match on one of them, as it is a government monopoly; all the great seaports are in a boxing attitude, and you must sail prudently between two tiers of stony knuckles before you come to feel the warmth of their breasts.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A leaping tongue of bloom the scythe had spared
Beside a reedy brook the scythe had bared.
The mower in the dew had loved them thus,
By leaving them to flourish, not for us,
Nor yet to draw one thought of ours to him,
But from sheer morning gladness at the brim.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
