Media
There are four media groups:
- The Ripple, the student newspaper.
- LUST, the student television station - LUST YouTube channel
- LUSH Radio, the student run radio station.
- A Web Group, who together with Union staff manage the Union website.
The Ripple was established in 1957 and publishes monthly. LUSH Radio currently broadcasts online and traditionally via FM.
Notably, LUST won the National Student Television Award for the Best Light Entertainment category in 2006.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“The corporate grip on opinion in the United States is one of the wonders of the Western World. No First World country has ever managed to eliminate so entirely from its media all objectivity—much less dissent.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
“The media no longer ask those who know something ... to share that knowledge with the public. Instead they ask those who know nothing to represent the ignorance of the public and, in so doing, to legitimate it.”
—Serge Daney (1944–1992)
“Today the discredit of words is very great. Most of the time the media transmit lies. In the face of an intolerable world, words appear to change very little. State power has become congenitally deaf, which is why—but the editorialists forget it—terrorists are reduced to bombs and hijacking.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
