Ole Miss Student Media, An Insider's Perspective

Students working at the Ole Miss Student Media Center are trying to fix a rumored flaw. NewsWatch, one of the five publications, has been seeking out professional help.

The SMC is a place for students to express their creative side and get hands-on experience outside the classroom. The facility provides the opportunity for interested students to work for the Daily Mississippian, Rebel Radio or NewsWatch.

Since the center is completely student-run, mistakes are inevitable. NewsWatch, especially, gets a lot of the flak. The live, 30 minute, broadcast is the only local news station generating news directly to and for Ole Miss, Oxford, and Lafayette County. The show airs on Channel 99 from 5:30 to 6:00 P.M. Monday through Friday.

Interested viewers can also catch the show online at OMTV. The SMC is housed in a state-of-the-art facility in Bishop Hall.
