Texas Student Media (TSM) is an auxiliary enterprise of the University of Texas at Austin (UT) and the largest student media operation in the United States. It is composed of faculty, student, and professional news industry representatives. History UT's first publication was the Cactus Yearbook, established in 1894; followed in 1900 by the weekly Texan (which evolved into The Daily Texan in 1913). In 1902, the Student Association was formed, partly to oversee UT student publications. In 1921, as more publications emerged, Texas Student Publications, Inc. (TSP) was formed. Over the years the organization oversaw a number of UT publications: On Campus The Coyote (1908 – 1915) — humor magazine banned by the Student Association Longhorn Magazine (1915 – 1929) — literary journal merged with The Texas Ranger The Scalper (Oct. 1919 – Nov. 1922) — humor magazine banned by the TSP for its perceived "immorality" The Texas Ranger (Oct. 1923 – Jan. 1972) — humor magazine; a number of staffers (from the period 1959–1965) later went on to become key members of the underground comix scene The Peregrinus (1949 – 2004) — University of Texas School of Law yearbook (named after Praetor Peregrinus, the patron saint of law students); first published by the Society of Peregrinus and taken over by TSP in 1970 The Riata: The Student Literary Magazine of the University of Texas (Spring 1961 – Spring 1971) Texas Engineering and Science Magazine (1965 – Jan. 1972) The Pearl (Fall 1972 – Apr. 1977) — successor to The Texas Ranger; monthly supplement to The Daily Texan that changed its name to The Maverick in its final year Texas Law Forum Texas Times; UTMost (Fall 1978 – 1992) — the sixth UT magazine The Texas Ranger, The Riata, and Texas Engineering and Science Magazine were all cancelled in January 1972 by the TSP Board because they were being published with more liabilities than assets. In 2002, reflecting its increasing engagement with broadcast media, the organization changed its name to Texas Student Media.
