Student News Media
We believe that good reporting starts here. From the moment our students walk through the door, we teach them to think on their feet, to make smart and ethical news decisions, and to always seek the truth. And we provide them with real opportunities to put their skills to the test through the Loyola Student Media.
The Loyola Student Media is the umbrella group that publishes The Maroon, The Wolf Magazine and The Maroon Online. Student-run, student-produced, and student-managed, the publications within the Loyola Student Media serve both as a community news outlet for Loyola, and as a learning laboratory for our aspiring young media professionals.
Loyola's weekly newspaper, The Maroon, publishes issues on Friday mornings during the regular school year.
Founded Nov. 1, 1923, The Maroon has served as Loyola's newspaper as the university endured the Great Depression, two world wars, and civil rights debates, and it has stayed strong well into the 21st century.
In our nine decades, The Maroon has garnered a long list of awards and recognition from city, state, and national journalism organizations. Our graduates have moved on to such prestigious institutions as The New York Times, CNN, The Washington Post, The Times-Picayune, The Advocate, and the Associated Press.
We do not regard ourselves as a student newspaper, but rather a community newspaper serving a university.
Chronicling the life and happenings of Loyola, The Wolf offers a snapshot of the trends, lifestyles, and personalities that make Loyola the unique community it is.
The Wolf is published six times per year – once each semester as a four-color glossy magazine, and twice each semester as a newsprint supplement to The Maroon.
Born from The Wolf Yearbook in 1999, Wolf Magazine continues to carry the mission of being the cultural observer of Loyola’s campus.
The Maroon Online
Making its debut in 1998, The Maroon Online serves a dual roll: one as the interactive community of Loyola's students striving to stay informed, share points of view and interact with their peers; and also as a way for alumni, parents, and prospective students to keep up to date with Loyola.
The Maroon Online carries the written and photographic journalism featured in the printed pages of its sister publications, but also serves as a multimedia springboard, offering student journalists a platform to practice video journalism as well.
