The Brandeis Hoot, or simply, The Hoot, is the community newspaper serving the Brandeis University campus.[1] Founded in 2005 by Leslie Pazan, Igor Pedan, and Daniel Silverman, it features articles written for, by and about the members of the Brandeis community. The paper's current Editor-in-Chief is Jenna Lewis.[2] Doubling in size since its inception, The Hoot is read worldwide and has been cited by national media outlets, including The New York Times,[3] The Boston Globe[4] and NPR.[5] Publishing every other Friday during the semester, The Hoot is distributed throughout the Brandeis community. The paper's motto is "To acquire wisdom, one must observe."[1] The Hoot publishes five sections (News, Arts, Opinions [formerly Impressions], Features, and Sports) and an editorial each week. The Hoot also publishes a "Hoot Recommends" in each issue, an article in which editors give their opinions on a new topic.
The Hoot transitioned from a traditional newspaper into a news magazine at the beginning of the 2025-26 school year. This change was led by Editor-in-Chief Jenna Lewis.
