Media

Your RMIT University Student Union is home to a student media paradise - with our own student newspaper, student radio and student television outlets based on campus.

The RUSU Media Department is made up of the elected SUC Media Officer, the elected Catalyst editors and the employed Publications & Communications Officer. Together they oversee the union's publications including the RUSU website & social media, Catalyst magazine and RMITV. The department also works closely with other communication outlets such as SYN FM.

Catalyst is RMIT's student newspaper and is printed every month or so, featuring first-class interviews and indepth exposés on issues that matter to students. Best of all, the content is 100% produced by students, so you have the chance not just to read the magazine but also be an active contributor. Whether you want to know which subject to pick for next semester or which pickup lines to use on your next night out, pick up an issue of Catalyst around campus.

RMITV produces television content for Channel 31 and is responsible for producing a number of high quality shows with the highest production values and budgets. Some examples include Barnaby Flowers, In Pit Lane, The LiveWire, TheatreGames LIVE, Chartbusting 80s and The Loft Live. The popular Australian talk host Rove McManus and dynamic duo radio DJs Hamish and Andy also begun their media careers at RMITV

SYN is RMIT's student radio station. Approximately 80,000 people tune in to SYN's radio broadcast on 90.7 FM weekly. Volunteers are all aged 12-25 years, and fill various different roles within the station, including presenting and producing programs as well as working within the various departments including radio, TV, online, music, talks, marketing and publicity, IT and tech. A 2006 McNair listener survey showed a similar age group, 15-24, as the largest age group listening to community radio in Australia.
