For students, by students
At Mizzou Student Media, we’re all about opportunities. Our three student-led media outlets offer hands-on experience in a supportive learning environment. Get involved with news, entertainment and sports writing, DJing, news and sports broadcasting, podcasting and more from the moment you step foot on campus at the University of Missouri.
Our outlets
KCOU 88.1 FM
KCOU is a noncommercial station run entirely by University of Missouri students. The station serves as an outlet for the newest in music across multiple genres, the latest in campus and community news, Mizzou sports, programs devoted to forms of music otherwise ignored by most commercial radio stations in the Midwest, and — most importantly — the voice of students.
The Maneater
The Maneater is the University of Missouri's only student-led newspaper and has served as the student voice of Mizzou since 1955. Opportunities include writing stories about sports, arts & culture, news, and opinions for a digital platform, creating graphics, taking photos, producing audio and video pieces, data and investigative journalism, magazine development, breaking news and more.
CoMotion Digital Media
CoMotion Digital Media empowers students to develop real-world skills in new media. Involvement opportunities include content creation, brand development, creative design, digital marketing and multimedia production. CoMotion is the home of four brands: CoMotion Podcast Network, CoMotion NOW, CoMotion Marketing and CoMotion Sports.
Opportunities
Mizzou Student Media offers the opportunity for all University of Missouri students — no matter their experience level — to get involved with active content creation in a supportive newsroom or studio environment. Our student leaders are going through similar coursework as staff members, creating an environment for mentorship in members’ work in student media as well as their journey as students.
With more than 50 leadership positions available, members of Mizzou Student Media have a unique opportunity to gain crucial leadership experience that sets them apart in their field and provides valuable personal development, as well. Leadership positions begin at the department level per outlet and progress to executive leadership positions of KCOU 88.1 FM, The Maneater, CoMotion, and the Mizzou Student Media Team.
