Collegian Media Group
The Collegian Media Group shares the stories of Kansas State University and Manhattan with communities on and off campus.
- The Collegian: Read daily by thousands of students and faculty members in print and online editions, it is the independent news source at K-State. Students have the chance to explore writing, editing, design, photography, advertising and sales at a nationally recognized, award-winning college newspaper beginning from day one.
- Royal Purple Yearbook: Considered one of the best college yearbooks in the country, the Royal Purple sets the trends that other schools follow. First published in 1909, the Royal Purple demands year-round editorial contributions to fill its 670-plus pages by the end of the school year.
- Manhappenin’ Magazine: Covers the latest styles and fads on campus and in the Manhattan area. Created by students to offer a snapshot of contemporary K-State-area life, Manhappenin’ provides an outlet for students drawn to entertainment writing, celebrity interviews and non-news feature photography and design.
