The Quinnipiac Barnacle is a parody newspaper at Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut.[1] The newspaper currently publishes weekly articles and one print edition each school semester.[2]

History

While the official website of The Quinnipiac Barnacle states humorously that it was started in 1964 by former Quinnipiac University President John Lahey,[3] it was actually started on November 5, 2012, by juniors Shane Collins and William Vessio as a parody news website.[4] The website received popularity and press on-campus, as well as strong negative feedback. In Fall 2013, The Barnacle became an officially recognized organization on the Quinnipiac campus[5] and came out with its first print edition on September 4, 2013.

The Barnacle used to have a web video series called BarnacleTV, and currently runs a bi-weekly news program called The Barncast[6] that airs during the school year.

Controversy

An unofficial newspaper on the Quinnipiac campus, The Quad News, published a negative article about The Barnacle on November 11, 2012.[7] Shortly after, The Barnacle published a satirical response to the article titled "Quad News Staff Tries to Draw a Line."[8]
