About Sandbox News

Sandbox News, the official student newspaper of St. Petersburg College, Florida, published its first “issue” in November of 2011.  Student-sourced, student-edited, and student-driven, Sandbox delivers fresh content in News, Sports, Entertainment, Arts, and Feature articles on local and national figures, and events.

St. Petersburg College has a proud newspaper tradition dating back to 1929 when the college first published The Wooden Horse, the last issue of which appeared in the 1990s. With the launch of Sandbox News, SPC continues that tradition by providing students with a platform from which to engage in ongoing conversations, to investigate the world, and express themselves.

Welcome to the Sandbox, a serious paper with a silly name.
