Student Media & Agencies

The Rowan University Student Media Hub provides hands-on student learning and professional communication for clients. The Hub houses seven media outlets and agencies: Rowan Radio 89.7 WGLS-FM, Rowan Television Network, The Whit student newspaper, Cinema Club, ProfAgency, Rowan Productions and PRaction.

Rowan Radio

WGLS-FM is a regional public radio service with a potential audience of almost 1.3 million people. The broadcast signal covers South Jersey, and parts of Philadelphia and Delaware. The studios are located in the College of Communication & Creative Arts on the campus of Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey.

Rowan Television Network

The Rowan Television Network is a student service organization for the Rowan University main campus community. We provide students with experience in the field of television production beyond the classroom setting, by producing a variety of news, sports, entertainment and public interest programming that airs on Channel 5 on-campus, and via our web stream world-wide.

The Whit

Since 1938, The Whit has served as Rowan University's exculsive campus newspaper. The student-run weekly includes a staff of eleven editors as well as a dozen or more reporters who cover everything happening in and around the university, inlcuding news, features, art & entertainment, and athletics. The Whit is always looking for new student reporters and editors who are looking to engage with their university in unique ways while also gaining real-world experience as 21st century journalists, which not only means writing weekly news articles but also taking photos and producing engaging pieces of audio and video journalism for The Whit's website.

Cinema Workshop

Cinema Workshop is Rowan University's student filmmaking club, and has been for the past 42 years. This club offers students the opportunity to work on film, video and multimedia projects outside of the classroom experience. Students take skills learned in production classes and apply them to creative work either more personal or larger in scope than what is possible within the confines of a 15 week course of study. After a peer-oriented pitch and approval process, Cinema Workshop provides grants in the form of goods and services through production, culminating in a year-end screening of often award-winning films and videos.

Rowan Productions

Rowan Productions is a new creative agency working out of Rowan's Radio, Television and Film Department (RTF). Led by an experienced producer and employing the best available student talent we're here to bring your stories to life through video.

PRaction

PRaction, Rowan University's student public relations firm, offers students the opportunity to gain work experience while helping local businesses and nonprofits. Students meet twice-a-month on Wednesdays to develop strategies and execute PR plans for organizations such as YoGo Factory, The Sassy Apple, Family Promise, and the Animal Welfare Association (and many more). Students perfect their skills while working directly with clients and developing professional portfolios. Students are welcome to join at any time.
