The UNCW Student Media Board

The Student Media Board (SMB) is Student Media's governing body. The board funds, coordinates, and advises student publications to ensure their effective service to the student body and the university and to protect the rights of the governed organizations to operate free of censorship. Composed of students, faculty, staff, community professionals and non-voting advisers, the SMB also provides budgetary oversight. Representation on the board includes each of our SMB-funded media, university faculty and staff, and two students-at-large (students otherwise unaffiliated with student media and who represent the UNCW student body).

Currently four media come under the aegis of the SMB:

• The Seahawk newspaper
• Atlantis magazine
• TealTV (formerly SBTV)
• Hawkstream Radio, a student-run podcast studio

Other student-media organizations, funded by SGA, are closely affiliated with the SMB and use the Student Media Center at the Fisher University Union as a resource:

• Flicker Film Society, devoted to film writing and production, and sponsors of the annual Reel Teal Film Festival.
• UNCW Photography Club, for students interested in traditional and digital photography and editing.

The SMB meets monthly in the fall and semi-monthly in the spring.
