The Polytechnic News bulletin underwent slight title and audience changes over the years, but remained a widely distributed source of information about faculty research and happenings around Polytechnic. From 1955-1956 the bulletins were titled "Report from Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn." In 1957, the headline changed to "News from Polytechnic: A newsletter for the faculty in staff." In 1970, this title was tweaked to "The Polytechnic Faculty News: For faculty and staff of the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn." In 1974, the title changed to "Polytechnic News: A Newsletter of Polytechnic Institute of New York," which indicated both the university's name change and, no longer specifying faculty as the only audience, a wider distribution. In 1984 the title became "Poly News: Polytechnic Institute of New York - Newsletter - Brooklyn - Long island - Westchester." Finally, in 1986, reflecting yet another name change to the university, the title changed to "Poly News: Polytechnic University - Newsletter - Brooklyn - Long island - Westchester."
