EnglishWhat is 22WestMedia?
Updated
22WestMedia (22 West) is a student-run, student-driven multimedia company at Long Beach State University. According to the organization's own description, it brings together three operations under one roof: a radio station, a video production company, and a magazine. If you want to know who runs it, what it publishes, or how it differs from a typical commercial outlet, the short answer is that it is a campus-based media organization built around student work rather than a professional newsroom.
The three parts of 22 West
The organization describes itself as encompassing three distinct media operations:
| Unit | What it is |
|---|---|
| Radio station | Audio programming produced under the 22 West banner |
| Video production company | Video content created by the organization |
| Magazine | A published magazine title |
These are presented as parts of a single multimedia company, not separate organizations. That structure is what makes "multimedia" the operative word: the same student-driven operation works across audio, video, and print-style publishing.
Who runs it
The key detail in the organization's description is the repetition of "student": it is both student-run and student-driven, and it is based at Long Beach State University. That means the people producing the content are students, and the direction of the organization comes from students as well.
This matters for how you read anything 22 West publishes. It is a learning and practice environment tied to a university, not a commercial media company staffed by career journalists and producers. The description does not present it as a commercial venture, so expect the output to reflect student production rather than professional editorial workflows.
What this means if you're trying to use the site
The available page evidence for 22westmedia.com is limited: the site returns "You need to enable JavaScript to run this app." In practice, that tells you something concrete about access:
- The site is built as a JavaScript application, so a plain text fetch or a browser with JavaScript disabled will not show you the content.
- To actually see the radio, video, or magazine material, you need to open the site in a normal browser with JavaScript enabled.
- Because the page evidence contains no headings, excerpts, or pricing information beyond that message, there is no supported basis for describing specific shows, article titles, subscription options, or costs. The description does not mention pricing, logins, or payment, so none should be assumed.
When 22 West is relevant to you
22 West is worth knowing about if you are:
- A Long Beach State student looking for hands-on media experience in radio, video, or magazine work.
- Someone interested in student-produced media from a university campus.
- A listener, viewer, or reader who wants campus-oriented content rather than commercial programming.
It is not positioned as a commercial broadcaster or publisher, and the available material does not describe paid tiers or professional services. For anything beyond the three units and the student-run structure, the site itself is the place to look — with JavaScript enabled.
