The Binghamton University Pipe Dream is the student-run newspaper of Binghamton University, a public research university located in Binghamton, New York. The Pipe Dream was founded in 1946 by a group of students who wanted to create a platform for reporting on campus news and events. Over the years, the newspaper has remained an integral part of the Binghamton University community, providing students with hands-on experience in journalism and giving a voice to the campus population. Today, the Binghamton University Pipe Dream is owned and operated by the university's student government association, which oversees the newspaper's operations and ensures its editorial independence. Based in Binghamton, The Pipe Dream covers a wide range of topics, including campus news, student life, sports, arts and culture, and local community events. While the newspaper's primary focus is on issues and happenings within the Binghamton University community, it also occasionally reports on regional and national news that may be of interest to its student readership. One interesting fact: The Binghamton University Pipe Dream is one of the few student-run newspapers in the United States that is entirely self-funded, relying on advertising revenue and student fees rather than university or external funding. This unique financial model allows the Pipe Dream to maintain a high degree of editorial autonomy and to prioritize the interests of its student readers over those of external stakeholders.
