KENT STATE STUDENT MEDIA makes the connections you need. Whether you are a student searching for an authentic media experience, a community member seeking to share your story, or you simply want quality news, information and entertainment, we deliver. We are made up of 11 partner organizations that include digital and social media, streaming audio and video, podcasts, print newspapers and magazines and industry-standard production operations.
IN 2024, Kent State Student Media underwent a strategic restructuring designed to align our student-led organizations with the evolving media industry. The effort included the launch of new Audience and Production & Film Distribution organizations and forging closer ties between our digital, video and print news operations. A revamped entertainment group brings together audio and streaming video, incorporating the iconic Black Squirrel Radio. The Fall semester brings a rebranded KentStaterTV, a redesigned and rebranded website under the kentstater.com banner and the arrival of a new Director of Student Media. Join us as we grow our reach and impact at Kent State and in the surrounding community.
