Media for All Interests

Throughout the year, Elon students produce a weekly student newspaper, broadcast an evening newscast, air an FM radio station, produce entertainment content through 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.

Colin Dohonue serves as the chair of Elon University’s Student Media Board.
