Showcase your Media Talent
When you work in student media, you do more than create content for the campus community. You develop valuable skills in communication, leadership, time management, and technology that today’s employers are looking for. With funds from the Russell Endowment, PC students are paid for working in Student Media.
PC offers many opportunities for students to participate in student media. There are four main student-run media outlets on campus:
- The BlueStocking — student newspaper
- Figs & Thistles — literary arts journal
- WPCX — college radio station
- BlueTube — digital video channel
Student Newspaper The BlueStocking
The BlueStocking has been a part of the PC campus since 1919. Originally a print publication only, the student newspaper now has a vibrant web presence, appearing in print occasionally throughout the year. Our goal at The BlueStocking is to serve as a platform for the PC community to find relevant and interesting information, entertainment, and discussion. If you’re a PC student, you can also get paid to write for the student newspaper.

Annual Literary Journal Figs & Thistles
Figs & Thistles is the annual literary arts journal at PC and has printed original work by PC students every year since 1967. Any form of creative writing is eligible for submission. If you flip through an issue of Figs & Thistles, you’ll find poems, short stories, flash fiction, personal essays, and sketches and drawings. You are encouraged to submit creative work to the publication if you’re a PC student.

Radio Station WPCX
WPCX is PC’s college radio station that has been a part of campus life since 1990. The broadcasting booth is located in the Media Center on the first floor of Thomason Library. You can listen to WPCX on FM radio at 97.1 in Clinton, SC, or get the WPCX mobile app (Apple / Google).
Student deejays are paid hourly to play music of their choice and host talk shows. You can hear play-by-play broadcasts for PC men’s football and basketball games, and the regular rotation features student-produced podcast episodes from the English department’s podcasting course.
