Why the DMI?

With the rapid rise of digital, mobile and social media, audiences can access, share and even create media content when they want, how they want and wherever they want. The Digital Media Initiative (DMI) at LSU is addressing these monumental changes to our field by taking steps to establish the Manship School as a digital leader.

The Lab

Still a work in progress, the DMI Lab in Hodges Hall is an open workspace where students, faculty, and industry will collaborate on the study and development of the future of mass communication. Here students and faculty will work with industry to create digital, social and mobile platforms and to study these platforms’ effects on audiences. Conceptualized as a combination work and research space, the lab features three walls covered in dry-erase paint, with the fourth wall featuring an Internet-enabled and Web conference-ready television featuring both Google TV and Apple TV platforms.
