==Firebombing incident==
At about 5 a.m. on February 28, 1989, two men hurled firebombs at the offices of The Press. No one was hurt, but the first floor of the two-story building was consumed by the flames.〔Office of Weekly Paper in Riverdale Is Firebombed, By DAVID E. PITT, New York Times, Wednesday, March 1, 1989 ()〕〔Violence against the press: policing the public sphere in U.S. history, By John C. Nerone, Oxford University Press, 1994, p. 204〕
The bombing took place five days after the newspaper published an editorial defending the right to read Salman Rushdie's novel ''The Satanic Verses'', while the editorial was still on newsstands. A call to 911 claiming responsibility said the newspaper was bombed in retaliation for its editorial.
The Society of Professional Journalists gave the paper's co-publishers, Richard and Bernard Stein its First Amendment Award for their courage in continuing to publish despite the severe damage caused to the paper's offices by the firebombing.〔Riverdale Press To Be Honored, Tuesday, May 9, 1989 ()〕
