The New School Free Press (NSFP) is a student-run news organization serving the university-wide community at The New School (TNS). NSFP was founded by a group of passionate Eugene Lang students in 2007 and is completely editorially independent, meaning that student editors have final say on what the publication covers and what gets published. NSFP evolved from students’ desire to create a serious news publication covering the university and surrounding neighborhoods from a previous iteration called Inprint.

As a newsroom, we value transparency. We adhere to a Code of Ethics (https://bit.ly/NSFPcodeofethics) that guides our reporting and newsroom conduct, and that is reviewed at the beginning of every semester to best reflect our values and keep our community safe. We believe our readers should have access to the standards we hold our newsroom to and should be able to provide feedback.

Financial Transparency

While the New School Free Press is an editorially independent, student-run news organization at The New School, it is not fiscally independent. NSFP is not a Registered Student Organization (RSO), but it is supported with university funds. Funds were allocated to NSFP in the Spring 2024 semester, when then-interim president Donna Shalala allocated a portion of her discretionary funds to support the long-term development of the newsroom. The university also provides NSFP’s newsroom space at 39 W. 13th St. NSFP editors work with faculty advisors, who liaise with the TNS Budget and Operations to manage the budget and ensure it is used for journalistic and/or educational purposes to support the newsroom.  NSFP uses its budget primarily for quarterly print editions, newsroom equipment, journalistic subscriptions and services, and learning materials.
