SCAD Student media manages six student media outlets at the Savannah campus that allow students to express themselves, share news and inspiration while gaining valuable career skills. Student media alumni are following their passions at The New York Times, Disney, NPR, McKinsey & Company, HGTV and other media industry leading organizations.
Whether students write for District, the award-winning student news website, style fashion photo shoots for The Manor, the student fashion publication, or host a radio show for SCAD Radio, participants are surrounded by like-minded creatives who push each other to produce engaging content on ever-evolving media platforms. A professional staff member leads student media through training and long-term planning.

In addition to a robust slate of volunteer contributors, each student media outlet is led by a team of paid student editors and managers. Leadership positions are filled each fall.

Each student leader advertises, interviews and selects the remaining student leaders.
