The J-School maintains several media operations that serve the information and entertainment needs of the KU campus, Lawrence and the surrounding area. J-School students also gain valuable experience working in these media-laboratory operations.

The University Daily Kansan & kansan.com:
At kansan.com, the online version of the award-winning University Daily Kansan, students take stories to another level--multimedia. Students who work on the Kansan often find themselves on a fast track to some of the nation's leading newspapers. It's consistently ranked among the top college newspapers in the United States, and its reporters continue to win awards that prove they're among the best college journalists in the country. The Kansan also provides opportunities to work in advertising, design and online journalism. The Kansan is managed and operated by students.

KUJH-TV & tv.ku.edu:
Available on broadcast channel 14, Sunflower Cable channel 31 and on the Internet. Students interested in working in television find KUJH-TV the place to test their skills, producing the station's daily newscast. Each semester, the station produces other local programs, expanding its coverage of sports and special events. That means opportunities for on-camera talent, producers, directors and writers. KUJH-TV also incorporates new technology, using a remote van and Internet TV news at tv.ku.edu. Broadcasting experience prepares students to attack the media world from all directions. Students work in all areas of production, advised and supervised by experienced faculty members.

Jayplay:
Magazine students have the opportunity to work on a weekly lifestyle magazine called Jayplay, which is inserted in the University Daily Kansan. Students write a department of the magazine every two weeks, an essay and one long article per semester. The magazine has a student editor, and the students use their own ideas for stories and designs each week. Students learn by working with artists, photographers and the magazine's editor. Students receive individual coaching and written feedback on their work from the magazine course instructor.

KJHK Radio:
KJHK radio, KU's sound alternative, is available at 90.7 FM on the dial, or live on the Internet. The station is run by the Union Programs Department, but journalism students have the opportunity to contribute daily newscasts. All KU students are encouraged to participate at KJHK in one of the many departments. Departments include programming, sports, news, promotions and production, just to name a few. It's not just one of the leading college stations in the country--KJHK was the first radio station in the world to broadcast a continuous live signal on the Internet, giving it a truly international presence. KJHK gives the University an independent voice and puts students at the forefront of radio technology.
