Founded in 1986, the Federalist is Columbia University’s most important newspaper. We’ve come a long way since our creation by Justice Neil “I hate poor people” Gorsuch when he was an undergrad. *Shudder.* We can only imagine that back in that era, students used our writing as toilet paper.
The Federalist delivers daily news to the ever-dwindling number of Columbia students who actually have a sense of humor. Most of our writing is about bullying Prezbo and making poop jokes. Occasionally, we write some high-brow content like “Different Kinds of Trees Each Ivy Fucks.” We are not financially independent from the University, but we certainly act like we are, and we’re still here, baby.
The organization is run by undergraduates from CC, SEAS, Barnard, and GS with a staff totaling nearly 50 complete degenerates. The Federalist has opportunities for students’ wide range of interests, including trashing the Columbia administration, photoshopping Prezbo in very unflattering ways, and procrastinating real work by dunking on other student publications.
