This year marks the 50th anniversary for Winston-Salem State’s student publication, The News Argus. Through the years, the Argus has experienced several changes.
The Argus began as The Teacher’s College Informer.
The Informer was created to inform students, faculty and staff about news around the campus and throughout the Winston-Salem community.
In 1962, the Informer sponsored a contest for students to rename the newspaper: The News Argus was the winning name.
The News Argus began publishing as a monthly broadsheet. It was later changed to a tabloid-size newspaper.
The Argus staff office has been located in Eller Hall and Hall-Patterson. Today the office is in Carolina Hall.
