Student Media
TCU Student Media gives students an opportunity to explore leadership and storytelling through the framework of journalism. Student Media is responsible for TCU360.com and the weekly newspaper, The Skiff. Students in skills classes — such as Reporting, Multimedia and Newscast — contribute content, but students from any major are invited to join. Students are encouraged to explore various media platforms and digital tools while gaining experience that will help them at TCU and in professional media. Students also create and sell advertising.
