About Student Media
Students interested in developing communication skills such as writing, broadcasting, photography, editing, design and layout will find opportunities for experience with The Echo (campus newspaper), WOCR-FM (campus radio station) and the Garfield Lake Review (campus literary magazine).
The Olivet College Journalism/Mass Communication program took a major step forward in the fall of 2008 with the opening of the new Convergent Media Center. The CMC - on the lower level of the Kirk Center - brings together all of the student media in a central location. Students studying broadcast and print journalism can work more effectively and collaboratively as they share space and ideas with each other across media platforms. This movement toward collaboration and convergence mirrors the developments taking place in the new media environment of the American media workplace.
The Convergent Media Center features an editorial office for the student newspaper and literary magazine, the renovated studios of WOCR-FM, a shared lobby space and a new classroom for JMC programs. The classroom is equipped with specially-designed Smart Board technology and computers. Most JMC courses including Basic Reporting, Broadcast Announcing, Broadcast Production, Broadcast Writing, Mass Communication Law and Ethics and Photography are held in the Media Center. A video production studio is now being developed to expand the programming offered through the CMC.
