Media Ecology

At UGA, the media ecology is diverse, yet incredibly similar to that of other universities.

First off, here, GroupMe Is the most relevant form of communication between large groups. Dorms, majors, and organizations use GroupMe. It’s convenient and rather effective for communication.

Secondly, e-mail is incredibly relevant. Professors communicate with e-mail far more than anyone else of campus. Of course, students don’t latch onto the seemingly too slow rate of e-mail communication. We prefer the live, up-to-the-minute coverage of a text message or social media post.

Speaking of social media, UGA is also trying its best to become more relevant on social media. From changing our logo to updating more frequently on Instagram and Twitter, UGA is trying to connect to their students any way possible. It is even possible to read play-by-plays of football games on Twitter now.
