QMUNICATE
qmunicate is the award-winning student magazine of the Queen Margaret Union, claiming the title of Best Magazine at The Herald Student Press Awards 2009. One of qmunicate's contributors was also named Best Columnist at the 2010 Herald Student Media Awards. It aims to keep students up to date with everything that's happening at the QMU, as well as provide thought-provoking articles on what's happening elsewhere to keep your brain working in those early morning lectures. Run by students, joining the team is a great way to pick up some tips on writing styles, design or photography - or at a more basic level, you could blag a promo copy of your favourite band's new album or get free tickets to press screenings of the latest film.

The GUUi
The Glasgow University Union Independent is the youngest of the three magazines on campus. A fun, quirky magazine with a wide range of rants, it's hard to believe that the GUU gives away this wordy gem for free! It acts as a creative outlet for both its dedicated team of members and any casual contributors who fancy getting involved with one of the GUU's exciting projects. Whether you want to pursue a career in journalism, share your thoughts on the latest album release or simply have an excuse to put pen to paper - there are opportunities at the GUUi.

GU Guardian
Part of the GUSRC's media empire, The Glasgow University Guardian is one of the most prestigious student publications in the country. Getting involved gives a top-to-bottom experience of working within the press. Since 2004, Guardian has met with considerable critical success, most recently at the 2010 Herald Scottish Student Press Awards, at which it won prizes for Best News Writer, Best Sports Writer and Student Journalist of the Year. Additionally, members of the team have found work in the media whilst still at University and after they have graduated. Working at Guardian is not just a way to fill spare time, it is a well-proven path to a career in the media industry.

Subcity Radio

Subcity isn't a niche crew of music snobs, but a down to earth community of DJs, technicians, writers, journalists, web designers, photographers, events organisers and artists. Subcity Radio has been supplying a rich and innovative spectrum of music since 1995; from unreleased skweee and dark step, to forgotten northern soul and indie rock promos. The station prides itself on its independence and freedom for contributors, providing support and training for those who want to help to shape Glasgow's ever changing music scene. Hidden amongst the vast streams of music are interludes of comedy, interviews, current affairs, live gigs and talk based content. Subcity has also earned its status as a heavyweight on the Glasgow club scene through its consistently diverse and pioneering parties thrown across the city. As a career maker, former Subcity staff can be found running award winning net stations including Radio Magnetic and Globa Soundtracks as well as propping up the BBC technical department, libraries and production suites. They're always on the look out  for sharp minded people with fresh ideas to get involved in everything from presenting, producing and engineering, to copy writing, photography, visual arts and events.
