Congratulations to the finalists and winners of the first ever Student Media FlashLab Innovation Pitch Contest. The competition ended Nov. 29 with four Kent State students sharing a prize of $1000. Each winning idea will also share up to $10,000 from the Student Media Innovation Fund in order to launch, test and maintain their ideas in the coming months.

SPRING 2019 - Student Media Leadership interview schedule

All interviews are open meetings and will be held in 228 Franklin Hall. The Student Media Board selection subcommittee will conduct its meetings in a manner consistent with the Ohio Open Meetings Law, section 121.22 of the Revised Code.

Welcome to the FlashLab Innovation Pitch Contest. 

Kent State Student Media is now a member of WAUPM! The Western Association of University Publication Managers is a group comprised of only 35 leading student media organizations across the nation. After receiving our second invitation to the annual conference in Philadelphia in spring 2018, we were extended an invitation to join as a full member. This membership is a testament to the amazing work of our students.

For the first time ever, Kent State Student Media participated in KSU’s Giving Tuesday fundraiser in November. And our modest (but optimistic) expectations were surpassed in spades with the help of 156 supporters, who raised $10,121 for our students. Our goal was $4,000. The money raised will go directly to the media groups and be used for such things as student salaries, travel to conferences, and to boost innovation among many other things. We appreciate the generous support from the friends of Student Media.
