The Elucidator is a campus newspaper managed by the students of Symbiosis Centre of Media and Communication [formerly known as Symbiosis Institute of Media and Communication (Undergraduate)]. It aims to inculcate a sense of journalistic pride among media and non-media students. The newsletter works primarily to encourage campus news, so that students may know more about their campus and surroundings. It also serves the purpose of inculcating a reading habit among the youth so that they may read and be aware.
As for those who participate, it is a stepping stone for many budding writers, reporters, editors, photographers and marketers. It aims in making them battle hard of the industry so that they are prepared for any obstacle. More so, it is a boot camp preparation for life!

The journey began with the Founder, Reuben Paul attending a Model United Nations (RIIMUN) between 10th, 11th and 12th January 2014. The event was organised by Rotary Club of North East & Rotary Club of Poona Airport where he participated as an International Reporter who reported about the happenings of the Security Council for three consecutive days. His articles were printed in the Communiqee (RIIMUN newsletter) twice a day. He was inspired to initiate an independent newsletter in his own college on 12th Jan 2014. The newsletter was christened on 7th Feb 2014 and he and his batch mates, The Elucidator team fought all odds to release their first issue on 13th Feb 2014.
Today, The Elucidator has 50 dedicated students working on their main issues with occasional special editions (Blitz Editions) every month between their academic semesters, Summer months Jan to April and Winter months June to Sept.
