What is Tiger TV?
Student television began on the LSU campus in 1988. In its short on-air history, Tiger TV has grown to include a state-of-the-art television studio and provide original programming each week. Tiger TV shares its production equipment and facilities with the Manship School of Mass Communication and is one of the most modern student television studios in the country.
Why donate to student journalism?
Students who join a branch of student-media are taking the first step to preparing themselves for their post-grad career. Many of our reporters are Manship students who take their classroom knowledge and implement it into gaining real-world experience that they can use once they graduate from LSU. Donating to student journalists gives us the opportunity to continue covering breaking news and sports as well as helps us cover daily operating costs.
Tiger TV – SPORTS. NEWS. YOU.
Donating to Tiger TV’s fundraiser will give student journalists the opportunity to better serve the Baton Rouge and LSU community through their storytelling efforts. Your funds will help finance a variety of needs such as equipment, travel, and professional development related fees.
