independent student media

Independent student media refers to college or university-run publications, radio, or digital outlets that operate without direct influence or control from the school's administration. They are run by students and aim to provide unbiased, diverse, and critical perspectives on campus issues, news, and culture. This independence allows them to hold the institution accountable, promote free speech, and serve as a platform for student voices. Essentially, they function as autonomous sources of information and commentary, fostering an open exchange of ideas within the campus community.
