The Rip is circulated every other Wednesday during the fall and spring semesters. The paper is free and distributed on the main campus, at the downtown Weill Institute and various other drop points.
The newspaper has been produced by journalism students under the direction of student editors since 1929. Its staff has won numerous awards, both local and statewide, and is widely read by the student, faculty and staff population. In April, the paper received general excellence awards in the state for both its print and online editions from the Journalism Association of Community Colleges, and a number of Rip students have gone on to media-related careers.
When you advertise with The Rip, you not only reach your customers, you also help our newspaper program, as advertising dollars are used to cover production costs and update equipment.
