campus media

Queen's is fortunate enough to have a wide assortment of campus media to keep everyone informed and entertained. From newspapers, radio stations, zines, and a tv show - there is no shortage of information circulating. coming Football

The Journal

The Queen’s Journal has been published since 1873 and is the oldest media on campus. Until recently, the newspaper was located in an old house in the ghetto near campus- it will find its new home in the Queen’s Centre media centre. The Journal is a very fulfilling entity to devote your time to, and there are numerous ways to get involved. Your handiwork could be published up to twice a week. The Journal is by far the best way to get campus news.

Golden Words

The engineering paper on campus is called the Golden Words, and while it may at first seem like a big pile of crap, that's really what they are aiming for. I guess you have to hand it to them. They spew out thousands of humorous and useless words weekly, much to my amusement. There is a very clear rivalry between the Journal and GW, but thankfully both are free, so you can afford to indulge in both.

CFRC

CFRC 101.9 fm, located in the bowels of Carruthers Hall, is one of Canada’s oldest radio stations and definitely one of the coolest ways to get involved at Queen’s. There are a number of ways to participate, either through paid or volunteer positions. Not everyone can make it on-air, but if you keep at it and are committed- or have a cool idea- you’re likely to be successful. There is also a huge CD collection located in the studio that’s awesome to browse through (or reshelf- something many volunteers do).

Studio Q

Studio Q is a weekly campus television show that features comedy sketches and campus events in a humourous news format. It airs weekly on cable television in Eastern Ontario, and can be viewed nation-wide on certain satellite providers. It is definitely the most fun of all campus media.
