The Bwog is the 24/7 blog incarnation of The Blue and White, Columbia University’s monthly undergraduate magazine. It updates multiple times daily, bringing readers Columbia news, gossip, arts, sports, and free food. Bwog is the place to find out what’s big on and around campus. And be sure to submit your own news/gossip-worthy items to tips@bwog.com!

The Columbia University community turns to The Blue and White for news, culture, and humor. The Blue and White features diverse content including incisive, cheeky commentaries on Columbia and New York happenings, the best of students’ poetry and short fiction, and art criticism.

Founded in 1891, in keeping with other Columbia institutions, the magazine underwent a period of dormancy before being revived some years later. To be exact, the B&W went under in 1893 and was only refounded in 1998. Despite the passing of years, our purpose remains largely unchanged since expressed by Editor Sidney Treat, C’1893: “to give bright and newsy items, which are of interest to all of us, combined with truthful comments on the same, in order to show clearly the exact tone of the College.”

The Blue and White is widely read in the Columbia community, a market that includes nearly 8,000 undergraduates and over 22,000 total full-time students; over 7,000 faculty; and over 11,000 administrators and staff. With a paper circulation of 2500 issues per month, our distribution ranges from dorm rooms and campus buildings to local businesses and alumni mailboxes.

We publish on the first Thursday of each month throughout the academic year, with the exception of January.

If you’re interested in writing, editing, or drawing for the print or web editions of The Blue and White, e-mail us at editors@theblueandwhite.org. If you’re interested in advertising, please e-mail business@theblueandwhite.org.
