Texas Student Media

Texas Student Media In 1921 Texas Student Publications, Incorporated was established and acquired the responsibility of controlling the publications.

TSM is composed of several media properties: The Daily Texan newspaper, the humor magazine Texas Travesty, Cactus Yearbook, KVRX 91.7 FM, BurntXOrange, TSTV, The Drag Audio, Texas Connect, Bevo Video Productions, and Tower & Bridge Communications. Beginning in 1894 with the first volume of the Cactus, and followed shortly thereafter in 1900 with the first issue of The Texan, the University of Texa

s at Austin established two of its earliest student publications. TSP was incorporated for 50 years, until the end of its charter in 1971. At that time, TSP was established as an auxiliary enterprise of the university, falling under the umbrella of student affairs. In the years that followed, TSP acquired several additional media units. While many of these subunits came and went, a total of five remain today: The Daily Texan, Cactus Yearbook, KVRX-FM, Texas Student TV, and the Texas Travesty. Beginning with the adoption of KVRX Radio in the late 1980s, the scope of TSP began to reach much further than "publications." For this reason, the Board elected to change the name of Texas Student Publications to Texas Student Media (TSM). It is believed that "Texas Student Media" will much more accurately represent the full extent of the organization's services.

“We are turning grief into opportunity for others. … (The) students who will benefit today will go on to uplift students tomorrow.”

The parents of Savitha Shan, a UT student who was killed during the Sixth Street shooting in March, shared on Friday that they created the Savitha Shan Endowed Scholarship to honor their daughter’s legacy. With the help of the University, the endowment aims to raise $500,000 to support students whose families make less than $125,000.
