The Rice Campanile was first published in 1916 celebrating Rice's first graduating class. It has published continuously since then, publishing two volumes in 1944 since the university had two graduating classes due to World War II. The website was created sometime in the early to mid 2000s.

[[KTRU Rice Radio]] is the student-run radio station. It plays genres and artists of music and sound unavailable on other radio stations in Houston, and often, the US. The station takes requests over the phone or [https://web.archive.org/web/20140424125136/http://ktru.org/e-quest online]. In 2000 and 2006, KTRU won Houston Press' Best Radio Station in Houston.<ref name="Houston Best of Houston - Best Radio Station - page 1"/><ref name="Houston - Best of Houston - Houston"/> In 2003, Rice alum and active KTRU DJ DL's hip-hip show won Houston Press' Best Hip-hop Radio Show.<ref name="Houston Best of Houston - Best Hip-hop Radio Show - page 1"/> On August 17, 2010, it was announced that Rice University had been in negotiations to sell the station's broadcast tower, FM frequency and license to the [[University of Houston System]] to become a full-time [[classical music]] and fine arts programming station. The new station, [[KHVU|KUHA]], would be operated as a not-for-profit outlet with listener supporters.<ref name="sale1"/> The FCC approved the sale and granted the transfer of license to the University of Houston System on April 15, 2011,<ref name="Correspondence for KTRU"/> however, KUHA proved to be an even larger failure and so after four and a half years of operation, The University of Houston System announced that KUHA's broadcast tower, FM frequency and license were once again up for sale in August 2015. KTRU continued to operate much as it did previously, streaming live on the Internet, via apps, and on HD2 radio using the 90.1 signal. Under student leadership, KTRU explored the possibility of returning to FM radio for a number of years. In spring 2015, KTRU was granted permission by the FCC to begin development of a new broadcast signal via LPFM radio. On October 1, 2015, KTRU made its official return to FM radio on the 96.1 signal. While broadcasting on HD2 radio has been discontinued, KTRU continues to broadcast via internet in addition to its LPFM signal.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Hardy |first=Michael |date=February 9, 2015 |title=KTRU Returning to Houston Airwaves |url=https://www.houstoniamag.com/arts-and-culture/2015/02/ktru-is-returning-to-houston-airwaves-february-2015 |work=[[Houstonia (magazine)|Houstonia]] |archive-date=June 2, 2024 |access-date=June 2, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240602003522/https://www.houstoniamag.com/arts-and-culture/2015/02/ktru-is-returning-to-houston-airwaves-february-2015 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Passwaters |first=Arie |date=September 28, 2015 |title=KTRU to return to FM radio on 96.1 with celebration concert |url=http://news.rice.edu/2015/09/28/ktru-to-return-to-fm-radio-on-96-1-with-celebration-concert/ |access-date= |website=Rice University News and Media |archive-date=February 13, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210213213051/http://news.rice.edu/2015/09/28/ktru-to-return-to-fm-radio-on-96-1-with-celebration-concert/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

RTV5 is a student-run television network available as channel 5 on campus. RTV5 was created initially as Rice Broadcast Television in 1997; RBT began to broadcast the following year in 1998, and aired its first live show across campus in 1999. It experienced much growth and exposure over the years with successful programs like "Drinking with Phil”, “The Meg & Maggie Show”, which was a variety and call-in show, a weekly news show, and extensive live coverage in December 2000 of the shut down of KTRU by the administration. In spring 2001, the Rice undergraduate community voted in the general elections to support RBT as a blanket tax organization, effectively providing a yearly income of $10,000 to purchase new equipment and provide the campus with a variety of new programming. In the spring of 2005, RBT members decided the station needed a new image and a new name: Rice Television 5. One of RTV5's most popular shows was the 24-hour show, where a camera and couch placed in the RMC stayed on air for 24 hours. One such show is held in fall and another in spring, usually during a weekend allocated for visits by prospective students. RTV5 has a video on demand site at rtv5.rice.edu.<ref name="rice14"/> The station went off the air in 2014 and changed its name to Rice Video Productions. In 2015 the group's funding was threatened, but ultimately maintained. In 2016 the small student staff requested to no longer be a blanket-tax organization.

''The Rice Review'', also known as R2, is a yearly student-run literary journal at Rice University that publishes prose, poetry, and creative nonfiction written by undergraduate students, as well as interviews. The journal was founded in 2004 by creative writing professor and author [[Justin Cronin]].<ref name="rice15"/>

''The Rice Standard'' was an independent, student-run variety magazine modeled after such publications as ''The New Yorker'' and ''Harper's''. Prior to fall 2009, it was regularly published three times a semester with a wide array of content, running from analyses of current events and philosophical pieces to personal essays, short fiction and poetry. In August 2009, the ''Standard'' transitioned to a completely online format with the launch of their redesigned website, ricestandard.org. The first website of its kind on Rice's campus, the ''Standard'' featured blog-style content written by and for Rice students. ''The Rice Standard'' had around 20 regular contributors, and the site features new content every day (including holidays).
