The Scripps Voice

More than a paper promoting neutrality and objectivity, we strive to be a platform for radical voices, creative perspectives, marginalized identities, and uncompromising activism. We are Scripps College’s official newspaper and our goal is to offer a platform for the diverse and remarkable voices of our student body. The Scripps Voice is published biweekly and is written, designed, edited, managed

, and produced entirely by Scripps students. Any and all 5C students and faculty are encouraged to write for us. Scripps College's founder and namesake, Ellen Browning Scripps, was herself a journalist during the 1860s and 1870s. Ellen Browning Scripps wrote for The Detroit Tribune and The Detroit Evening News in college and after graduating. Her daily columns ranged from news snippets to suffragette appeals. The Scripps Voice hopes to continue the tradition of outspoken feminist journalism that our school's namesake was notorious for, while adjusting our feminist lens for a newer, more intersectional era. The Editors-in-Chief for the 2017-2018 school year are Mel Gilcrest and Maureen Cowhey. We supplement our print coverage with online articles, blogs and reports, in order to allow students another medium of expression. The 2017-2018 academic year marks The Scripps Voice‘s twenty-first year of publication.
