The Arizona Student Media department, with more than 300 paid and volunteer student staff, offers rewarding and meaningful multi-media and journalism training that complements coursework and provides students with intensive leadership roles. Through work on the award-winning Arizona Daily Wildcat, the Wildcat Online, RedBlue magazine, KAMP Student Radio and UATV-3, students gain hands-on experience in writing, editing, design, broadcasting, film, marketing and promotions, advertising, computer graphics, website development, photography and accounting, among other areas of media management. Working in Student Media is a sure way for students to build their resumes, hone their skills or explore career opportunities. Click here for more details about jobs opportunities in Student Media.
    AZ Student Media is a university (Student Life) auxiliary operating largely on revenues from the sale of advertising, sponsorships and underwriting. In addition to student-sponsored media, the department publishes the Student/Faculty/Staff Directory (the university phone book), the Campus Map, The University of Arizona Visitor Guide, and other publications for the campus community.

    Our mission is to provide the university community with a daily student newspaper, student broadcast facility, university phone directory and related media and publications and to offer meaningful employment, training and support for students engaged in these activities. To meet this mission, Student Media adheres to the following five guiding tenets:
  1. SERVICE to students and the UA community in the form of news, entertainment, opinion and advertising.
  2. INSTRUCTION AND CAREER PREPARATION that complements the classroom and provides a "real world" working experience.
  3. FISCAL INTEGRITY that helps maximize resources and sustains student journalistic independence.
  4. STUDENT DEVELOPMENT that creates diverse opportunities for students to practice leadership and take responsibility.
  5. CONTINUITY in maintaining our mission and forging community alliances and partners.
