The Suffolk Journal is the undergraduate student newspaper of Suffolk University. It has operated continuously since 1936. The Journal prints a 16-page weekly newspaper, distributed across campus.

The Journal is currently located in the Sawyer building on Ashburton Place close to the Massachusetts State House. Previously, the office was located on the fifth floor of the Donahue building on Temple Street. Students across different majors help to put the paper together every week. Students are encouraged to send in their articles or opinion pieces.

Managed and produced entirely by undergraduate students, the Journal is committed to providing news coverage, both on and off campus, entertainment and sports stories, editorials and reviews.^[1]

There are four sections of the paper: News, Arts & Culture, Opinion and Sports.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020 The Suffolk Journal started The Suffolk Journal Newsletter.
