Studio Q started as Studio Cue in 1980. It was a student produced in-studio interview show filmed and edited in Kingston’s local community access cable studio (then Cablenet 13).
In 1985, the show was incorporated under Queen’s A.M.S. In the 1989-1990 season it adopted a newscast format.The format went through several content changes over the years —shifting from news to talk show to sketch comedy. A Journal article published on Sept. 22, 1989 reports that the premiere show covered “the city’s new recycling program, improvements in Frosh Week, and the standards of education at Queen’s.” Studio Q lost its broadcast slot of 6 p.m. on Cablenet 13 in 1997.

The name of the show changed again in 2006 (or 2007) to QueensTV (QTV). In 2015 QTV amalgamated with two other student-run services, Yearbook & Design Services (YDS) and Convocation Services, to form a marketing entity named “Studio Q”.

Surface was a student newspaper run largely from student contribution that attempted to offer “alternative” political commentary as through seen in its tag line “Surface: emerging into public view.” Though each yearly volume was published by different elected editorial staff, they shared common themes including feminism, environmentalism, free speech, and sexual and gender identity. Also importantly Surface was a platform for Kingston artists and writers to feature poetry, short stories, photography, and various other art forms as seen in the vivid images of the covers. The publication also published articles about international politics from Southern American conflict, African Apartheid movements and United States military actions post-911 bringing campus debates into global focus. Because of the topics covered, Surface garnered a lot of controversy and debate on campus which lead to death threats, various editors stepping down and attempted civil lawsuits. In 1993, as a result of its controversial nature, Surface lost its funding by the Arts and Science Undergraduate Society (ASUS) in the fall referendum. It returned in 1994 but its loss of funding resulted in Surface remaining in a state of flux until its end in 2003.

Sweven was originally published as a monthly art insert for the Queens Journal, but due to financial and time restraints Sweven only ran sporadically from 1970- 1971. The goal of Sweven was to provide a forum for creative work on campus, largely focused on visual art pieces, photography and poetry as combined high art piece. During its run Sweven within its issues had many interesting features including covers done by local artists, annual writing contests, local history or interest articles written by authors of Kingston, and details on local art galleries. Sweven as an insert ended in 1971. Between September and December 1978, there was four issue revival of the concept in the form of separate magazine based off of Sweven’s art as run by former art insert editor. But this magazine ended after those four issues in December 1978.

The Alumnae News was a publication created by the Queen's University Alumnae Association. The purpose of the publication was to reinforce the links with Queen's and between the alumnae. The decision to publish it was made at an executive meeting held in January 1916 and ratified at the Alumnae Association annual meeting. The Alumnae News was to be financed by membership dues and a copy provided to each member as she paid her membership fee. The first issue was published June 1916. The Alumnae News focused on news provided by alumnae and alumnae branches, along with short articles of interest, and the names and addresses of all the members of the Association. Twenty-four volumes of The Alumnae News were published over the next twenty-five years: only 1936 was without a volume as there was no editor available that year. The last volume was published in July 1940.

The Briefcase was a newsletter published by the undergraduate program of the Queen’s School of Business as a medium of communication between different business undergraduate societies within Canada.

The Chronicle was a Commerce Society newspaper running for eighty-one issues published between 13 October 1977 and 21 March 1985. It is the successive publication to the earlier publication of The Commerce Man. The Chronicle was a newspaper published monthly detailing changes happening within the Commerce Society consisting mostly of election details and profiles of candidates, but also focused on giving detailed support for undergraduate, graduate and staff published articles. These articles were meant to relay information of theories and development within the businesses community.
