INTRODUCTION

T

he Johnsonian is Winthrop University’s weekly student newspaper. We publish 2,500 to 3,000 copies each Thursday, excluding school breaks and exams.

We strive to reach all students with a variety of content: from campus news to opinion; arts and culture to science and technology.

It is our mission to provide relevant and interesting content to our readers, so that they are both informed and entertained.

The Winthrop audience is diverse, much like The Johnsonian.

As Winthrop University grows, so too does the demand for an accurate source of relevant information. With a new mobile site and an updated website, The Johnsonian fills this need and is the most efficient source of reaching thousands of Winthrop University readers.
