(((Still, going strong I hear! As I recall, there was only 3 of us when we started it. And the only public relations we had was scamming the Student Life xerox code.)))
"Bennington Free Press
Founded in the spring of 2003, the Bennington Free Press is a fast-growing student newspaper distributed throughout the College community. Over the past few years, the BFP has grown from a photocopied 8.5"x11" newsletter to a full-fledged tabloid-sized newspaper with a circulation of over 1,000. Its volunteer student staff has grown from 4 to 12 students, and in 2005 it acquired a newsroom on the second floor of Commons. Believing that a student newspaper is as crucial to a college community as is the formation of a strong student government, the BFP provides a wealth of information from a student perspective and provides experience for students who are interested in writing, editing, photography, publishing, advertising and public relations."

Those words were lifted from a grant proposal I wrote in '04.
I've only been back once since graduation, but word on the street is that some punk kid founded another paper. It was called "Before the End of the World." It lasted a year and attempted to challenge BFP supremacy but apparently lost steam and has now joined the other gossip rags in the Crossett library archives.
