Student Media houses many journalism and entertainment organizations at UC Santa Cruz. Hundreds of students produce newspapers, television shows, feature-length films and other forms of media every quarter.
The Student Media Council meets throughout the year to allocate funds to the various student organizations, granted through funding provided by Measures 13 and 34. These funds go toward projects that benefit all of the organizations within Student Media. KZSC Radio is housed in Campus Life, however, representatives attend Student Media meetings as well.
The newly developed http://www.sctv28.com provides a platform for several Student Media organizations to host their video content on.
