The Big Question: (who are we?) • The 24 hour news network of Messiah College • Media Lab for students to gain hands-on skills either as volunteers, staff, or practicum students • Conglomeration of the Swinging Bridge newspaper, Clarion yearbook and Pulse FM

Plus, snazzy online tools! • Messiah Terminal • Pulse.messiah.edu • Swinging Bridge website • Facebook, twitter, pinterest
Why an integrated student media? • Better educational tool for students • Better resembles the media structures in “the real world” • Promotes better accountability structure • Able to do more things better • Able to serve clubs and organizations better
State of an integrative student media • Role of practicum students • Managerial meetings • Challenge of precedence • Challenge of analogy • Challenge of Journalism major structure
The 2011 yearbook (Before the Pulse), which was offered free to seniors, got the Clarion into substantial debt. This was absorbed by SGA/The Pulse in 2012. • The 2012 yearbook was offered for free online with the option of ordering a free hard copy. • The 2013 yearbook will be sold to seniors for $35, approximately $50 off the full price. (no online option)
