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.

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 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.

The Commentator Newsletter was a monthly four-page newsletter published and written by Queen’s Commerce Society in order to detail exclusively with the activities of the Commerce Society and on the changes within the Commerce program. Until its abrupt end in 1999, the newsletter detailed elections within the Commerce Society, debates over changing businesses developments and recent work by graduates.

Established in the spring of 1946, The Commerce Man was originally published by the Commerce Club in order to meet the demands and changes within University by returning World War II veterans. The main purpose of the periodical was to present the students of the School of Business with their own magazine based upon the contributions of undergraduates, recent alumni and faculty. The periodical also offered valuable training for student producers, advertisers and writers. The periodical was published semi-annually in the fall and spring of each academic year, until the Fall 1954 issue where it became an annual publication. The content of the magazine shifted greatly through its two decades of publication, but usually the periodical offered business-related articles, book reviews and articles on recent research within the program. Notably in the 1950s and early 1960s, the periodical published detailed descriptions of recent graduates and positions they held within industry. Throughout the Commerce Man’s publication it faced financial difficulty and by 1965 the periodical was reduced to a once yearly publication though each issue was significantly longer. The periodical was restructured again, when in 1969 the Commerce Society broke away from the Faculty of Arts and Science becoming the newly founded Queen’s Commerce Society in the Business School. Due to a mixture of financial strain and loss of interest within the newly founded Commerce Society the Commerce Man ended publication in 1974. The publication of the Commerce Man offers a inside look into Commerce Society at Queen's, and Canada's changing post war business models.

The publication regularly had literary features, profiles of graduate students, activities announcement, hockey and other athletic reports. Despite attempts to reach a wide audience within campus, by June 1964 there was significant budget issues with the publication taking 60% of the Graduate Student Society income. The newsletter was reformatted from plain separate pages to increased amount of articles in columns per pages and increased advertisement. Along with this reformatting, there was attempt to capture a wider audience with more controversial issues particularly focusing on international events like the Vietnam war and failures of health insurance for graduate students. But despite these attempts by September 6 1969, there was increased budget demands with the renovations of the Graduate House on campus which meant cutting back on other projects of the society, including The Gavel.
