It has won numerous awards, and has placed first many times in the General Excellence category (the highest category) for collegiate news publications at the New Jersey Press Association awards. The Signal is run almost entirely out of their office located on AIMM's second floor. TCNJ Magazine is another publication, covering both current campus life and alumni affairs. The Perspective, an openly left-leaning student news booklet, is the school's newest publication having been first published in 2009. The Perspective received funding from the Student Finance Board, but so far has no established publishing schedule (as opposed to other campus publications). On the literary side, ''The Lion's Eye'' and ''The Siren'' are both student-made magazines filled with poetry, prose and artwork by students. The Seal was TCNJ's yearbook since its first publication in 1911. However, following the 2017 edition, the publication and student organization were discontinued due to low demand and incumbent debt.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.tcnjsignal.net/2018/02/06/yearbooks-fate-sealed/|title=Yearbook's fate sealed|date=2018-02-06|work=The Signal|access-date=2018-04-28|language=en-US|archive-date=October 7, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191007155307/http://www.tcnjsignal.net/2018/02/06/yearbooks-fate-sealed/|url-status=live}}</ref> ==== Radio ==== [[WTSR]] (91.3 [[FM broadcasting|FM]]) is the college's non-commercial [[radio station]] which services Mercer County and Bucks County, Pennsylvania while also broadcasting over the internet.
