History
BCVoice brings together the print paper, which was last known as Veritas, and Spark Radio, formerly WGMB, under one name.
Student-led media organizations are not new to campus. The Philomathean Monthly, published by the literary societies at the College, contained articles, news and features. The first issue was published in 1896.
The first student newspaper, The B.C. Bee, published biweekly beginning in Nov. 1925. The radio station was launched as WVBC in 1956.
The B.C. Bee was renamed The Talon and then became Veritas. Physical archived copies of nearly all student newspapers are available through Bridgewater College Special Collections.
BCVoice was launched as an online platform in Fall 2019.
