Showcase your Media Talent
When you work in student media, you do more than create content for the campus community. You develop valuable skills in communication, leadership, time management, and technology that today’s employers are looking for. With funds from the Russell Endowment, Ï㽶Ðã students are paid for working in Student Media.
Ï㽶Ðã offers many opportunities for students to participate in student media. There are four main student-run media outlets on campus:
- — student newspaper
- Figs & Thistles — literary arts journal
- WÏ㽶ÐãX — college radio station
- — digital video channel
Student Newspaper The BlueStocking
The BlueStocking has been a part of the Ï㽶Ðã campus since 1919. Originally a print publication only, the student newspaper now has a vibrant web presence, appearing in print occasionally throughout the year. Our goal at The BlueStocking is to serve as a platform for the Ï㽶Ðã community to find relevant and interesting information, entertainment, and discussion. If you’re a Ï㽶Ðã student, you can also get paid to write for the student newspaper.
