Media
Gustavus Adolphus College is home to several publications and broadcasters:
- The Gustavian Weekly, first published in 1920, is the campus newspaper. Its predecessor was the College Breezes. In addition, there were various other names for the student paper from June 1891 into 1902. Full-text digitized issues from 1920 through spring 2005 can be found through the Digital Collections page of the Gustavus Adolphus College Archives.
- Firethorne is an arts and literary magazine published twice per year. Students submit short stories, poetry, creative nonfiction, photography, visual art, or other creative content.
- KGSM is a webcast-only radio station operated entirely by students. The studio moved to the Beck Academic Hall in 2011 to improve the quality of its webstream and added a digital audio workstation.
- The newest campus media outlet is GAC TV. Started by a group of students interested in bringing television broadcasting to campus, GAC TV became an instant success when students started watching the weekly show before free on-campus films.
- The Gustavian yearbook publishes a yearbook for each class and dates back to 1920 with predecessor publications released under different names dating back to 1904.
- TV broadcasts from Gustavus are released over Internet II.
- An alumni magazine, the Gustavus Quarterly, features articles of interest to graduates.
