Welcome to Student Media at Western Oregon University! Student Media is student-funded through the Incidental Fee Committee. We have a weekly newspaper (through the school year) called The Western Howl, an internet radio station called KWOU, and a literary publication called The Northwest Passage.

The Western Howl is WOU’s weekly newspaper. This award-winning newspaper is written, edited and printed by students. Print issues are distributed on campus on Wednesdays while updates are added daily online.

KWOU is WOU’s student-run internet radio station. Featuring student DJs and engaging programs, interviews, and specials, KWOU is emerging as WOU students’ favorite radio station.

The Northwest Passage is WOU’s campus literary and arts publication, published three times each academic year. Submissions are sought for stories, poetry, photography and more. Submissions vary by issue.
