First Blog Post and Media Tetrad

Hey everyone! My name is Logan White, and I’m a freshman this year at UGA. I graduated from Lambert High School in Forsyth County, Georgia, and I am currently planning on majoring in Public Relations. I love to write and blog, and I was the Literary Editor for The Lambert Post my senior year. Now, I write for the UGA branch of Odyssey Online. I also love animals and manage the Instagram account for The Humane Society of Forsyth County. I would love to one day have a career in writing, publishing, editing, or as a media specialist.

Mostly, I love writing about my faith and life experiences.

Media Tetrad:

Instagram

Enhances: Instagram allows people to share life events, even with friends they haven’t talked to in a while. It also enables users to keep up with celebrities, and it gives companies/organizations a visual outlet to advertise daily.

Retrieves: The ability to keep up with friends, even those you may not see very often, and to see what is happening in their lives at the moment
Reverses Into: The pressure to post frequently in order to seem like your life is exciting. It also creates the pressure to have an aesthetically pleasing theme.

Obsolesces: The need to talk to your friends to tell them what is going on in your life. Now, a lot of people know things about others simply because they, “Saw it on Instagram.”
