The Graphic

Student Journalism

Seaver students have the opportunity to work on our nationally acclaimed weekly newspaper the Graphic, online Graphic and Currents Magazine. Faculty advisers to these publications bring decades of experience as daily newspaper and magazine editors, in addition to providing students with expertise in communication law, in-depth reporting, ethics and religious journalism.

The Graphic

The student body relies on the Graphic Weekly newspaper to get the actual facts on campus issues and events. Produced by a relatively small group of driven information gatherers, artists, and writers, this quality publication comes out every Thursday afternoon during the school year. Each day, other student writers and editors of the online Graphic (pepperdine-graphic.com) prepare news updates to keep people abreast of the latest news on campus.  Students also stay connected by following the Graphic on Twitter and Facebook.

Come Join Us

If you are interested in any part of Student Publications, please come join us for Our Big Week (OBW). We start planning the year and put together the first issue of the Graphic. OBW typically takes place in August, the week before classes begin. Participants are allowed to move into their dorms early!
