The Greenbelt News Review is a community newspaper which is coooperatively owned. It was established in 1937 by the residents of the "Green Town" one month after they moved to the new town. The paper is owned by the reporters, editors, and other staff who put out the community's news on a weekly basis. The president emeritus, Elaine Skolnik, received the Co-op Month communications award this year for her work on the paper. In addition to spreading the word about Greenbelt's many cooperatives, she was a central figure in a lawsuit against the News Review which went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and helped establish Freedom of the Press.
