Media for All Interests

Throughout the year, students produce a weekly student newspaper, air an FM radio station, produce content through ESTV (Elon Student Television) and publish a yearbook for campus distribution.

We strongly encourage our students to get involved in the student media, where they can write, edit, shoot video, take photographs and produce all kinds of multimedia content that reaches a broad audience.

The Pendulum, Student Newspaper

Pendulum staff members have many opportunities to meet with professional editors and reporters and travel to attend national media conferences sponsored by the Associated Collegiate Press, College Media Advisers and Columbia Scholastic Press.
