LSU Media and our 4 sections have a long and proud history. There have been five different sections over the last 50 years, the oldest of which is Loughborough Campus Radio (started broadcasting officially as University Radio Loughborough in 1973), with Lens Photography as the newest section, established in 2014.
Below, you can take a look at every past Head of Media and Head of Section we have on record. As you can see, we’re missing some names – if you’ve got any information that might help us fill our gaps, please contact us!
