Publications & Media at Tech
The five student publications and the radio station at
Georgia Tech give students the opportunity to remain or
to become involved in activities that many find a surprise
in a technical environment, especially when they learn
that the newspaper and yearbook are state and national
award winners! Students can write, design, provide business
services, and take photographs for publications. At WREK,
the student radio station, there are opportunities to
be on the air or behind the scenes in a diverse music
environment. Leadership opportunities are available for
students who are looking for involvement in a non-technical
area of Georgia Tech.
Newspaper The Technique, “The South’s
Liveliest College Newspaper,” is produced weekly
by students during the academic session. The ‘Nique’
is a state award winning tabloid- sized newspaper.
Students write, design and lay out pages on the computer,
and take photos for the paper.
Yearbook Blueprint, Tech’s national award winning
yearbook, is produced by a student staff and provides
students with an opportunity to continue writing, design,
and photography. “Prove you went to Tech –
be in the Blueprint!”
Open forum magazine The North Avenue Review provides
Tech students with the chance to speak their minds about
almost any topic. Former issues have included essays
on subjects as diverse as death and information overload.
Art and literary magazine Erato, a magazine devoted
to art and poetry at Georgia Tech, provides a chance
for students to publish art and poetry. Erato has partnered
with other organizations at times to have coffeehouses
during the year to showcase music and poetry.
Online survival guide for new students T-Book, the
only web-based student publication, gives new students
insight into Tech life and Tech traditions.
Radio station WREK 91.1 FM was established in 1966
to provide the campus and the Atlanta area with a choice
of programming listeners could not find on commercial
stations. WREK continues to do this with a wide range
of music and programming. The station is run by students
and advised by faculty knowledgeable about student radio,
and assisted by alumni in the Atlanta area who were
active at the radio station as Tech students.
