Campus Media
- EKU's campus newspaper is known as the Eastern Progress. The paper was founded in 1922, after two previous campus newspapers had quit publication. The Progress is published on essentially a weekly schedule during the school year, excluding major holiday breaks, for a total of about thirty issues per academic year.
- EKU's radio station, WEKU broadcasts classical music and NPR news to much of central and southeastern Kentucky.
- EKU's yearbook, The Milestone returned to campus in 2007 after a 10-year absence. A large, typically high-quality volume chronicling campus life over the preceding year, The Milestone is run by students under the auspices of the Department of Communication.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
