AboutUs
OurReachOver the past five years, Georgia State has set record enrollment figures with each class more academically rigorous
and diverse than the one before it, putting GSU in place to soon become the largest public university in the state, which translates into continued expansion and economic impact for the Atlanta community.
We publish 4,500 copies each week both in and around the Georgia State campus, thereby reaching about *18,000 traditional and commuter students regularly, according to market research data.
On average, The Signal’s website (www.georgiastatesignal.com) receives between **400 and 600 views a day or 15,000 views a month. During peak news weeks, the site often receives in excess of 2,000 to 4,000 views a day.
