The Black & Magenta

FALL 2026


A LONG TRADITION

The first issue of the Black & Magenta, Muskingum University’s long-standing student newspaper, was published in 1902.

For more than a century, the newspaper served as a platform for student reporting on everything from student affairs and campus arts and events, to national politics and global wars.

With changing times and advancements in technology, the format of the newspaper has changed into a multimedia storytelling platform, but the values of independence, accuracy, integrity and student empowerment through writing remain the same.
