Trumbull Satellite is a multimedia and multimodal publication. During the Fall 2022 semester, we became an official KSU Trumbull campus student organization. It is intended to empower students through practical, collaborative and professional learning opportunities within an independent, student-led and multi-platform media framework. It facilitates two general types of works: Arts & Entertainment and News & Information. These are presented in a variety of media (print, photography, drawings, audio, video, small programs…).

It is also intended to be a teaching tool—practical experience—for various disciplines (MDJ, English, ASL, Spanish, Art, Theatre, BMRT, etc.).

Trumbull Satellite strives to collaborate and share with Kent Student Media (Kent campus) partners: A Magazine, The Burr, The Kent Stater, Luna Negra, Fusion Magazine, TV2 KSU, Black Squirrel Radio, Flash Film Commission, SM Advertising & Marketing, Kentcribs.com, Taking Flight, and KentWired.com—including receiving funds to help build cooperation and collaboration between the campuses.  

Trumbull Satellite serves a wide variety of interests and media—from printed poetry published online to short fiction videos to feature news articles. The most recent installment of content includes poetry, inspirational writing, photography, and a sneak peek into our Spring 2023 event. Previously installed works have included informative feature articles, book reviews, the Lake Anne Podcast, reports of creative art work (embroidery, painting), poetry, short stories, video reports, and comics.
