About Student Media

Student Media offers academic support services, facilities, equipment, and pre-professional training to more than 800 students each academic year. More than 600 students receive academic credit through the Writing, Literature, Film and Digital Media, Community Studies, and Economics departments, and Kresge College. Participating students’ voices are heard through radio and television broadcasts, newspaper reporting, and literary journals.

Students are provided the opportunity for leadership, decision-making, creativity, and financial responsibility. Advisers uphold the First Amendment and support students’ freedom of expression while providing training in print and broadcast equipment, financial management, leadership skills, teamwork, FCC rules and regulations, and media law. This program is a rewarding adjunct to academic pursuits where practical skills and experience are gained prior to graduation.
