Students at Alabama State University began publishing a student newspaper in 1949. Over time the student paper was known by various names. The school published a newspaper for the Junior College Division known as "The Fresh-More," and the next year in 1950 students published "The Hornet." Thereafter, the two papers were combined into the "The Alabama State College Hornet and Fresh-More." In 1963, the student paper received the name it carries today, "The Hornet Tribune."

From its inception, the weekly student paper chronicled events, activities, and conditions at the school. The publication also serves as a forum for discussion and debate; in addition, the paper provides a laboratory experience for students interested in publishing.
