A state-of-the-art communication lab as well as student-run TV and radio stations and other campus media outlets give students in PennWest Edinboro's Department of Communication, Journalism and Media valuable hands-on experience.

Computer-Mediated Communication Lab

This digital media lab, located in 210 Compton Hall, provides state-of-the-art technological support for instruction in digital media production, web design and related areas.

Campus Media Center

The Campus Media Center in Compton Hall serves as the hub for PennWest Edinboro's three student-run media sources — The Spectator student newspaper, WFSE-FM radio and ETV television.

Department Offices and Resources

Students can access all department offices and resources in Compton Hall. First used by the Borough of Edinboro as a public school, Compton Hall went through a major renovation in 2011 that saw a large gymnasium at the center of the building remade into a state-of-the-art lecture hall and TV studio, brought the campus newspaper, television, and radio stations to the building, and created new office space.
