Social media

Social media are computer-mediated tools that allow people or companies to create, share, or exchange information, career interests, ideas, and pictures/videos in virtual communities and networks. Social media is defined as "a group of Internet-based applications that build on the ideological and technological foundations of Web 2.0, and that allow the creation and exchange of user-generated content." Furthermore, social media depend on mobile and web-based technologies to create highly interactive platforms through which individuals and communities share, co-create, discuss, and modify user-generated content. They introduce substantial and pervasive changes to communication between businesses, organizations, communities, and individuals. These changes are the focus of the emerging field of technoself studies. Social media differ from traditional or industrial media in many ways, including quality,reach, frequency, usability, immediacy, and permanence. Social media operate in a dialogic transmission system (many sources to many receivers). This is in contrast to traditional media that operates under a monologic transmission model (one source to many receivers).

Students' union

A students' union, student government, free student union, student senate, students' association, guild of students or government of student body is a student organization present in many colleges, universities, and high schools. In higher education, the students' union is often accorded its own building on the campus, dedicated to social, organizational activities, representation and academic support of the membership.

In the United States, student union many times only refers to a physical building owned by the university with the purpose to provide services for students without a governing body also referred to as a student activity center, although the Association of College Unions International (largely US-based) has hundreds of campus organizational members). Outside the US, student union and students' union refer to a representative body, as distinct from a student activity centre.

Purpose

Depending on the country: the purpose, assembly, method and implementation of the group might vary. Universally the purpose of students' union or student government is to represent fellow students in some fashion.

Readers want to know what is going on in the Greek-American community and Hellenic diaspora, as well as in Greece and Cyprus – and they want their news in the English language.

The National Herald is a direct response to this need. It presents news, opinions, and feature stories of paramount interest to Greek-Americans.

Published weekly for Saturday home delivery in the New York Metropolitan area and via the post office throughout the United States, TNH has grown by leaps and bounds and is the leading English language newspaper serving Greeks throughout North America.

Besides the print edition, TNH’s website (and its Greek language version www.ekirikas.com) receives thousands of subscriptions annually from all around the country and the world. It is the Greek paper of record in North America, and intends to be recognized as the Greek website of record as well.
