There are four media groups:
- The Ripple, the student newspaper.

- 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 media have just buried the last yuppie, a pathetic creature who had not heard the news that the great pendulum of public conciousness has just swung from Greed to Compassion and from Tex-Mex to meatballs.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
“The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.”
—Michel de Certeau (1925–1986)
“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)
