THIS IS STUDENT MEDIA Student Media at the University of South Carolina houses four student-run media outlets on campus: The Daily Gamecock, Garnet & Black, SGTV and WUSC-FM. Each offers students real-world experience in print, digital broadcast, advertising and graphic design, as well as the opportunity to plug-in at the heart of campus and the student body.

All students, regardless of year or major, are invited to join one, or all four, of the media groups. Each student’s time in the newsroom, behind the mic, or in design builds the experience and skill set for internships and jobs after graduation.

TESTIMONIALS Dan Sarantopolus

Owner, Columbia Charlotte Shuttle

Sydney Botelho

Advisor/Program Coordiantor, Office of Pre-Professional Advising

“There is simply no more effective way to reach the USC Columbia demographic than through Student Media, and our continual, consistent growth as a company is in large part a function of that effectiveness.”

“We were looking for more reach with our social media, not only to the students on campus but also other offices within USC so we could build more relationships across campus. Our reach more than tripled this past year. We could not have done this without Student Media!”
