Originally called the Tattler, the Wolverine Observer was a student-run publication serving Morris Brown College and its community. The paper became the Wolverine Observer in 1935 and initially published monthly under the direction of Professor V. C. Clinch. This monthly publishing goal found itself limited, however, and often the paper only published a few times during active school sessions. By the 1960s, the Observer was a member of the Intercollegiate Press (later the Associated Collegiate Press) and was largely run by the students themselves. The Observer sought to report news of interest to the Morris Brown College community and featured student editorials throughout its pages. Publication of the paper ceased during the 2000-2001 school year.

The Spelman Spotlight was the name of the student newspaper from 1956 to 2014 (The paper is now known as the Blueprint). The Spotlight featured articles primarily written by Spelman students, and focused on campus events, national and international news issues, editorials, creative writing, and opinion pieces.
The Spelman Messenger was established in 1885, four years after the founding of Spelman College. It featured articles written by faculty, students, and staff, on a variety of topics alumnae news, prominent visitors to campus, health and wellness, history, and religion and often included photographs and local business advertisements. The Spelman Messenger is still currently being published in print and online, and serves as the official magazine of Spelman College and the alumnae.
