The Blue and White is a student literary magazine established in 1890. The magazine is an outlet for intellectual and political discussion, literary publication, and general parody. It has recently begun to foray into in-depth pieces on campus life and politics.
History
The Blue and White was founded in 1890. It disbanded for unknown reasons in 1893. In 1998, a handful of undergraduates revived the journal based on the original format. The staff has since grown to several dozen writers and contributors. In 2005, the magazine switched to monthly editions, affirming its presence on the campus. Recently, the magazine has focused more on pieces of "hard" journalism, in contradistinction to its former, less serious, and more literary character. The Blue and White staff meets in the crypt of St Paul's Chapel.
The Bwog
In 2006, The Blue and White established The Bwog, a blog counterpart to the magazine. The Bwog publishes gossip and other Columbia news around the clock. Bwog is often accused of being insular and self-absorbed, in that it frequently reports on its own board members, its own reporting, comments on the Bwog, or on the associated Blue and White.
