The Crimson is a student-run newspaper of Florida Institute of Technology. The newspaper features campus headlines, campus life, diversions, science and technology, opinion/editorials, and sports sections.
The Crimson is one of the few college newspapers that receive media passes to Kennedy Space Center shuttle launches. The newspaper frequently interviews graduates of Florida Institute of Technology who work at NASA and their subcontractors, including Harris Corporation, Northrop Grumman, United Space Alliance, and others.
This student newspaper generally reports athletic news, campus happenings, movie reviews, and receives guest articles from members of the student body, faculty, and staff of the university. Other news articles are derivatives of Associated Press articles as well as direct press statements from Florida Institute of Technology's University Press.
