PLANET MEDIA LTD, DUNEDIN
Planet Media is Dunedin's recognised leader in the student market through it's exclusive combination of print, radio, and events sponsorship.
Planet Media is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Otago University Students' Association. As part of the OUSA stable of services, Planet Media plays an integral role in the production of over six annual publications, Critic magazine, Radio One and Orientation week.
CRITIC - TE AROHI
Critic is the flagship publication of Planet Media, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Otago University Students’ Association. Critic was also judged Best Publication at the 2005 and 2006 Aotearoa Student Press Association Awards, cementing its place not only as a Dunedin institution, but also as a national leader in the student media.
As well as being an institution, Critic is your student magazine. It’s written almost entirely by student volunteers, who write local and national news, in-depth feature articles, opinion columns, recipes, art, music, film, book, performance and game reviews, letters and clever jokes. Critic is freely available on campus every Monday during semester.
Critic reflects (and helps to shape) campus life at Otago. Volunteer by coming to the Critic office on the first floor of the OUSA building (next to Radio One), or contact us at critic@critic.co.nz.
RADIO ONE 91FM
Radio One is, to put it bluntly, a radio station. It to, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Otago University Students Assciation. To wittle it down to a finer point, it’s YOUR radio station. Cemented in the modernist monolith of the OUSA building, Radio One broadcasts 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. As part of the nationwide bNet group (bFM, Radio Active, RDU etc) Radio One is committed to bringing you the very latest in musical goodness from around the world, spanning the full spectrum of noise – overdriven soundscapes and ambient bleeps right through to hip-hop, roots/reggae and drum n bass, with hearty doses of drums and guitars to boot.
Not too fussed with how the station sounds? Come change it! While their awesomeness may make you a little weak at the knees sometimes, remember that all of Radio One’s top-flight DJ roster started out the same way, so come up and volunteer. You don’t have to want to be the next Paul Holmes or John Peel on the airwaves – you can come write and read news bulletins, host a newsradio show on environmental issues or just help out with myriad tasks around the station or at one of many swell Radio One gigs about town.
