TU Dortmund has several campus media which are partly produced by the university and partly by the students themselves. They range from university print publications to a radio station and campus newspapers through to a weekly television broadcast in the student program of the Dortmund public broadcasting channel “florian tv.”
“mundo” is published twice each year and informs about different topics from science, society and culture. “mundo” is academic due to the choice of topics but also popular due to its editorial variety.
Every two weeks a new copy of the “indopendent” is published by students from the Institute for Journalism. Interesting reports and news about topics most interesting for students make the newspaper. Most importantly, the students organize everything from the first inquiry to the ready layout.
Every week students from the Institute for Journalism produce a live broadcast in the Open Channel Dortmund. Furthermore they work on reports about different topic and help to build a bridge between the students at the university and the mostly older people regularly watching the Open Channel. As it is the case with indopendent and eldoradio, here the idea of education is also in the foreground – students can directly put their theoretic knowledge into practice.
With its reports and articles Unizet supports the internal communication among the members of the university and helps alumni to keep in touch with their old educational institute.
“eldoradio* – lives with you” – that is the motto of the student radio station at the TU Dortmund. Every day students from all university faculties produce the different broadcasts, as for example the “Toaster” which provides the campus with the latest news and the best music.
In the Media Monitor interested readers can get online-information about the latest news from the media branch. One focus of the publication is the sector “Media Region NRW”, where the regional media environment is screened, the found publications portrayed and media creatives interviewed. The magazine is a product of the training editorial office online-journalism at the Institute for Journalism.
