Marquette University Student Media is the official outlet of Marquette University's College of Communication, which allows students to gain real-world experience in producing mainstream media.
Marquette Student Media has five outlets which make up the Marquette Wire:
Marquette University Student Media traces its roots back to 1916, when the Marquette Tribune, the student-produced newspaper, was first published. Since then, four additional outlets have opened: MUR in the 1960s, MUTV in 1976, the Marquette Journal, and Marquette Student Media Ads.
They have produced publications in both CMYK and black and white.
In 2015, all departments converged into one single news organization known as the Marquette Wire.
Each outlet of Marquette Student Media is headed by a student. The College of Communication posts applications and hold interviews at the end of each academic year, during which the directors of the outlets are selected for the next academic year.
The department heads for the current academic year are as follows:
Sports: Andrew Goldstein
For a list of past directors, see the individual outlet pages.
Marquette Student Media is based in Johnston Hall, home of the Diederich College of Communication. Each outlet has its own office.
In 2006, the College began executing plans to converge all outlets of Student Media into a single location, instead of being spread all over the building. The basement of Johnston Hall was chosen as the location, and was partially remodeled during the summer of 2008.
When Dr. John Pauly, formerly Dean of the College of Communication, was promoted to the position of university provost in April 2008, convergence plans came to a halt. The broadcasting outlets of Marquette Student Media (MUTV and MUR) did not move to the basement of Johnston Hall as originally intended. However, other plans of convergence continued, namely the addition of two conference rooms, the relocation of an unused computer lab, and the relocation of the Student Media Business office.
Remodeling is set to take place during the summer of 2017-2018.
