Collegian Media Group

Collegian Media Group shares the stories of Kansas State University and Manhattan with communities on and off campus. We host a journalism workshop for high school students, and sponsor a convention and contest for high school journalists. Founded in 1946 as Student Publications Incorporated and renamed in 2012, Collegian Media Group is a private enterprise overseen by a board of directors composed of university students, faculty, and community professionals. The business received non-profit status in 1947 and operates as a 501(c)3 under IRS rules. Although its offices are on the Kansas State campus, Collegian Media Group is not affiliated with the university. Most of its revenue derives from sales of advertising, yearbooks, tuition in its summer workshop, and other endeavors. A portion of its funding comes from the students of Kansas State. Collegian Media Group receives no funding from Kansas State University or the State of Kansas
