The Kansas State Collegian is the student newspaper at Kansas State University, published by Collegian Media Group.
The Kansas State Collegian is the student newspaper at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas. Its content is reported, edited, and produced entirely by students, and students make up the advertising sales staff.
The Collegian is published in print Monday, Wednesday and Friday and daily online when classes are in session during the academic year, and weekly over the summer.
The Collegian is owned by Collegian Media Group, a non-profit business that also publishes the Royal Purple yearbook and Manhappenin' Magazine. Incorporated in 1946 as Student Publications Inc., Collegian Media Group is overseen by a board of directors, half of whom are students who are elected by their fellow students. Business operations are managed by a professional staff.
Most of the corporation’s income comes from the sale of advertisements. The rest comes from student activity fees, and the sale of yearbooks and mail subscriptions to the Collegian. Student Publications receives no funding from Kansas State University or the State of Kansas; it contributes more than $2000 a year to the state in sales tax collected on its products.
It will be our purpose to speak as the voice of the students on all occasions. Where there is need of improvement, we want to be found. Where there is work to be done, we want our hands to be at the wheel. Where the students' interests are involved, we will exert every effort to secure justice.
