The Berkeley Beacon

The Berkeley Beacon is Emerson College’s only independent, student-run newspaper. Founded in 1947, the paper publishes content online daily and in print on Thursdays throughout the academic year. The paper is a chronicle of life at Emerson — covering student government politics, on- and off-campus events, and administrative initiatives and policies.

In recent years, our staff has reported on a wide range of topics, covering everything from the expansion and renovation of Emerson’s campus to Boston-based political protests, as well as covering Title IX lawsuits against the college and advocacy efforts by student activist groups
