===''The Swarthmore Phoenix''===

''The Swarthmore Phoenix'' has been the independent [[campus newspaper]] of Swarthmore College since 1881 or 1882.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://swarthmorephoenix.com/|title=The Phoenix - The Independent Campus Newspaper of Swarthmore College Since 1881|access-date=April 30, 2019|archive-date=April 30, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190430033411/https://swarthmorephoenix.com/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.swarthmore.edu/phoenix|title=The Phoenix|date=July 8, 2014|website=www.swarthmore.edu|access-date=January 10, 2021|archive-date=January 11, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210111021838/https://www.swarthmore.edu/phoenix|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=https://www.swarthmore.edu/a-brief-history/1882-phoenix-founded|title=1882 The Phoenix Founded|date=May 13, 2016|website=www.swarthmore.edu|access-date=January 10, 2021|archive-date=January 11, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210111030349/https://www.swarthmore.edu/a-brief-history/1882-phoenix-founded|url-status=live}}</ref> The [[Phoenix (mythology)|phoenix]] has deep roots in Swarthmore lore. When the college's iconic Parrish Hall was gutted by fire in 1881, it was immediately rebuilt, rising, some noted, from the ashes like the bird found in [[Egyptian mythology|Egyptian]] and [[Greek mythology]]. Thereafter, ''The Phoenix'' became the name of the campus newspaper.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/pacscl/ead.html?start=25&fq=date_facet:%221900-1950%22+AND+date_facet:%221950-2000%22+AND+subject_corporate_name_facet:%22Swarthmore+College%22&id=PACSCL_swarthmore_6Q020phoeUSPSH|title=Swarthmore Phoenix Records, 1884-1953|website=dla.library.upenn.edu|access-date=April 16, 2021|archive-date=January 11, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210111020856/http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/pacscl/ead.html?start=25&fq=date_facet:%221900-1950%22+AND+date_facet:%221950-2000%22+AND+subject_corporate_name_facet:%22Swarthmore+College%22&id=PACSCL_swarthmore_6Q020phoeUSPSH|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://archives.tricolib.brynmawr.edu/resources/6q020phoe|title=Collection: Swarthmore Phoenix Records &#124; Archives & Manuscripts|website=archives.tricolib.brynmawr.edu|access-date=January 10, 2021|archive-date=January 11, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210111045539/http://archives.tricolib.brynmawr.edu/resources/6q020phoe|url-status=live}}</ref>

With an early staff that often numbered fewer than ten people, ''The Phoenix'' was first published monthly, then moved to a bi-weekly schedule in 1894. It is now published weekly. ''The Phoenix'' first appeared [[online]] in September 1995.<ref name="auto"/> The newspaper is printed by Hocking News in Lancaster County.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thecollegefix.com/post/29066/|title=Swarthmore student newspaper apologizes for op-ed telling students to 'stop whining' – The College Fix|date=September 19, 2016|work=The College Fix|access-date=April 27, 2017|language=en-US|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170429003158/https://www.thecollegefix.com/post/29066/|archive-date=April 29, 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>

===''Voices'' (and ''The Daily Gazette'')===

''Voices'' was founded in 2017 as "an online news publication solely dedicated to centering marginalized voices and creating space for them to tell their own stories", in response to controversial articles about African-American protests in the already-existing online publication ''The Daily Gazette''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://swarthmorevoices.com/our-history|title=Our history|work=voices|access-date=July 1, 2020|archive-date=May 27, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200527091922/https://swarthmorevoices.com/our-history|url-status=live}}</ref> In May 2018, ''The Daily Gazette'', which had been published since 1996, merged with ''The Phoenix''.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://swarthmorephoenix.com/2018/05/04/the-daily-gazette-to-merge-with-the-phoenix/|title=The Daily Gazette to Merge with The Phoenix|work=The Phoenix|date=May 4, 2018|access-date=July 1, 2020|archive-date=August 8, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200808005102/https://swarthmorephoenix.com/2018/05/04/the-daily-gazette-to-merge-with-the-phoenix/|url-status=live}}</ref>

===Magazines===

There are a number of magazines at Swarthmore, most of which are published semi-annually at the end of each semester.

One is ''Spike'', Swarthmore's humor magazine, founded in 1993. The others are literary magazines, including ''Nacht'', which publishes long-form non-fiction, fiction, poetry and artwork; ''Small Craft Warnings'', which publishes poetry, fiction and artwork; ''Scarlet Letters'', which publishes women's literature; ''Enie'', for Spanish literature; ''Visibility Zine'', for literature and art by historically marginalized groups;<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.swarthmore.edu/intercultural-center/visibility-zine|title=VISIBILITY Zine :: Hormel-Nguyen Intercultural Center|date=April 27, 2016|publisher=Swarthmore College|access-date=July 1, 2020|archive-date=April 23, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200423090529/https://www.swarthmore.edu/intercultural-center/visibility-zine|url-status=live}}</ref> ''OURstory'', for literature relating to diversity issues; ''Bug-Eyed Magazine'', a very limited-run science fiction/fantasy magazine published by Psi Phi, formerly known as Swarthmore Warders of Imaginative Literature (SWIL); ''Remappings'' (formerly "''CelebrASIAN''"), published by the Swarthmore Asian Organization; ''Alchemy'', a collection of academic writings published by the Swarthmore Writing Associates; ''Mjumbe'', published by the Swarthmore African-American Student Society; and a magazine for French literature. An [[erotica]] magazine, ''!'' (pronounced "bang") was briefly published in 2005 in homage to an earlier publication, ''Untouchables''. Most of the literary magazines print approximately 500 copies, with around 100 pages. There is also a photography magazine, ''Pun/ctum'', which features work from students and alumni.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.swarthmore.edu/friends-historical-library/swarthmore-college-archives-publications|title=Swarthmore College Archives: Publications :: Friends Historical Library :: Swarthmore College|website=www.swarthmore.edu|language=en|access-date=April 27, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170428142514/http://www.swarthmore.edu/friends-historical-library/swarthmore-college-archives-publications|archive-date=April 28, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Radio station===
[[File:Swarthmore Station.JPG|thumb|Swarthmore SEPTA Station at the foot of campus]]
[[WSRN-FM|WSRN 91.5 FM]] is the college radio station. It has a mix of [[Indie (music)|indie]], [[Rock music|rock]], [[Hip hop music|hip-hop]], [[electronic dance music|electronic dance]], [[Folk music|folk]], [[World music|world]], [[jazz]] and [[classical music]], as well as a number of radio [[talk shows]]. At one time, WSRN had a significant news department, and covered events such as the 1969 black protest movement extensively.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/org/phoenix/2002/2002-01-24/news/11640.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071223094241/http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/org/phoenix/2002/2002-01-24/news/11640.html|url-status=dead|title=Crisis of '69|archive-date=December 23, 2007}}</ref> In the 1990s, WSRN centered its programming on the immensely popular "Hank and Bernie Show", starring undergraduates Hank Hanks and Bernie Bernstein. Hank and Bernie conducted wide-ranging and entertaining interviews of sports stars and cultural icons such as Lou Piniella, Mark Grace, Jake Plummer, [[Greg Ostertag]], Andy Karich and Mark "the Bird" Fidrych, and also engaged the Swarthmore community in discussions on campus issues and current events. Upwards of 90 percent of the Swarthmore community would tune in to the Hank and Bernie Show and many members of the surrounding villages and towns would also listen and call in. Many archived recordings of musical and spoken word performances exist, such as the once-annual Swarthmore Folk Festival.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Smith|first=Ralph Lee|date=March 1997|title=If I Had a Song...|url=http://bulletin.swarthmore.edu/bulletin-issue-archive/wp-content/archived_issues_pdf/Bulletin_1997_03.pdf|magazine=Swarthmore College Bulletin|location=Swarthmore, Pennsylvania|publisher=Swarthmore College|volume=XCIV|issn=0888-2126|access-date=September 8, 2016|number=4|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161003222648/http://bulletin.swarthmore.edu/bulletin-issue-archive/wp-content/archived_issues_pdf/Bulletin_1997_03.pdf|archive-date=October 3, 2016|url-status=live}}</ref> Today WSRN focuses virtually exclusively on entertainment, though it has covered significant news developments such as the athletic cuts in 2000<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/org/phoenix/2000/2000-11-30/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071222092701/http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/org/phoenix/2000/2000-11-30/|url-status=dead|title=Cuts to athletic programs|archive-date=December 22, 2007}}</ref> and the effects of the [[September 11 attacks]] on campus. War News Radio and The Sudan Radio Project (formerly the Darfur Radio Project) do broadcast news on WSRN, however. Currently, the longest running show in WSRN's lineup is "Oído al Tambor", which focuses on news and music from [[Latin America]]. The show has been running non-stop, on Sundays from 4:00 to 6:00&nbsp;p.m., since September 2006. After its members graduated in December 2009, the show's concept was revived by the show "Rayuela", which has been running since September 2009.
