The Salemite is Salem College’s campus newspaper. It is run by a staff of student writers, photographers, and editors. It was converted to an online newsblog in 2010 and resumed its print publication in 2013. The Salemite covers major events on Salem’s campus and in the Winston-Salem community, in addition to topics of interest to the Salem student body – including entertainment, advice, and campus lifestyle.
The Salemite has represented freedom of the press for Salem College since 1920. It strives to be the “uncensored voice of Salem College” by providing students with a resource to express opinions and experiences in an open environment with no fear of repercussion.

Hello,
I’m a former editor-in-chief of the Salemite, I graduate in 2007. Just wanted to comment that I am really impressed by your decision to take the Salemite to a blog format. It’s great to see that in the four years since I left the paper, it has been moving forward. I heard a rumor that the print edition is no longer created. I didn’t know if it was true or not.
Anyways, the paper looks great and if you need any help let me know. After Salem, I decided to go into newspapers and got my masters at Syracuse University in Newspapers, Magazines, and Online Journalism. I work in Winston as a freelancer and I’ve started my own social media marketing firm.
Keep up the good work Salemites.

Thank you, cgleonard! As of the 2009-2010 school year, The Salemite is no longer in print. It had a website that year, and this year we made the transition to blogging. We are so glad you like it! Stay in touch!
