Student Media, part of the Office of Student Life, provides interested students opportunities to learn about the art and craft of creative endeavors, journalism, and new media via three primary outlets - an annual literary/art journal, a campus closed circuit television lab, and a newspaper.

Macon State College Student Media offer students opportunities to develop talents in several areas, to gain an in-depth knowledge of College activities, to learn skills and develop a portfolio that will be useful long after the College years are over.

The Student Media are governed by Student Media Bylaws. The Student Media Bylaws were unanimously recommended for approval by the Student Affairs Committee on Sept. 19, 2008 and were approved Sept. 23, 2008, by Macon State College President Dr. David Bell.

The respective student media handbooks govern each medium. The handbooks include specific policies, procedures and forms for each medium. The handbooks also include related policies from the Student Handbook, the Registered Student Organization Handbook and the University System of Georgia.

Macon State College Student Media offices are located in the Student Life Center, Room 120. The Student Media Center offers a network of Apple computers, hard-disk drives and laser printers to typeset copy, design ads, create other graphics and assist in video production. The system and the various programs available for student use offer considerable flexibility in the production process. Cameras, recorders and related equipment are available for use in assigned projects. These must be signed out from leaders or the Student Media Coordinator. Software and applications are the property of Macon State Student Media.

Macon State Student Media are open to all students, regardless of major. For more information contact the Student Media Coordinator or visit the websites of each media.
