Media Club

All SJCC students are invited to join the Media Club and get involved in the College newspaper and/or online radio station.

The college newspaper, The City College Times, is produced and published in print and online by students enrolled in journalism courses at SJCC. No experience is necessary; it is open to all students. Being a participant in The Times allows students to learn about journalism through hands-on experience in news reporting, feature writing, opinion writing, sports writing, editing, staff management, photography, page design, illustrating, advertising sales, website management, social media reporting, and branding. The Times provides a forum for campus-wide dissemination and discussion of information and issues. Students run a paper that has earned multiple awards from the Journalism Association of Community Colleges (JACC) and the California College Media Association.

The College online radio station, KJCC, is operated by SJCC students who are interested in broadcast performance and/or programming.  The Media Club provides training for any SJCC student interested in operating the radio console or hosting a radio program. The station also provides hands-on experience for students enrolled in the broadcasting courses at SJCC. KJCC airs various programs, including news stories, sports commentary, and talk shows.  The station also serves to disseminate information on college affairs and issues.
