History

Marquette University Student Media traces its roots back to 1916, when the Marquette Tribune, the student-produced newspaper, was first published. Since then, 5 additional outlets have opened: MUR in the 1960s, MUTV in 1976, the Marquette Journal, Student Media Ads.

They have produced publications in both CMYK and black and white.

In 2015, all departments converged into one single news organization known as the Marquette Wire.

Location

Marquette Student Media is based in Johnston Hall, home of the Diederich College of Communications. At present, each outlet has his own office:

MUTV's office is on the 4th floor of Johnston Hall, but all production occurs in the television studios on the second floor
MUR's office is on the 4th floor of Johnston Hall, and all broadcasts occur it the studio adjacent to the office.
The Tribune is based in the basement of Johnston Hall
The Journal is based in the basement of Johnston Hall
Student Media Advertising is based in the basement of Johnston Hall

Covergence

In 2006, the College began executing plans to converge all outlets of Student Media into a single location, instead of being spread out all over the building. The basement of Johnston Hall was chosen as the location, and therefore was partially remodeled during the Summer of 2008.

When Dr. John Pauly, formerly Dean of the College of Communication, was promoted to the position of University provost in April 2008, convergence plans came to a halt. The broadcasting outlets of Marquette Student Media (MUTV and MUR) did not move to the basement of Johnston Hall as originally intended. However, other plans of convergence continued, namely the addition of 2 conference rooms, the relocation of an unused computer lab, and the relocation of the Student Media Business office.

Current plans are to continue the remodeling of Johnston Hall's basement during Summer 2009.

Remodling is set to take place during the summer of 2016 to represent the vision of the Marquette Wire.
