ABOUT NEW MEDIA UPDATE

Great things are happening inside walls of the New Media Institute at the University of Georgia. Students are creating professional quality work, hosting events that influence and benefit real people in the real world, and learning how to use new media to make a difference. In fact, so much is going on in the NMI that some of the most important projects don’t get the recognition they truly deserve. New Media Update is a project dedicated to reaching out to the world and sharing everything that’s going on inside the walls of the NMI. Outreach via video podcast, created with professionalism by students in the very heart of the NMI, will both increase the visibility of the projects in the NMI and help people get involved who might not have previously heard about it. We are doing great things; let’s tell the world about it!
