Social Media
SCENES AND CAPTIONS
In the modern era, social media is a powerful tool and it should be used by journalists to access readers on a more mobile basis. News needs to be accessible for anyone and with the large number of people on social media, journalism must adapt to the times.
Social media scenes pt1
Left: These two images are two separate scenes I wrote for our social media. On the left was a scene of a teacher at our school. For this interview, I planned out a list of questions before, and I got to watch my facilitator, Aza Khan, as she set up the picture. I learned a lot about the tweaking Aza did to take a good picture for this scene. For the scene on the right, I want to talk more about what I learned. The full photo is all right but very boring to look at and not reader. This got a good amount of likes, even for an iffy picture. Though the caption feels a lot stronger to me. I learned a lot about scenes appealing to and social media writing from this not-so-good scene.
Social media scene pt 2
Right: Here are two separate scenes I have done for our Instagram. The one on the left was or Clarke Central High School Prom coverage I did. For the process, I interviewed several different students and teachers at Prom to find a good quote. As you can see it has gotten a lot of likes and several comments too. For the scene on the right, this was for a ninth-grade project called the Black History Month scenes. I really enjoyed talking to Deborah Lonon and this caption shows quality scene writing.
INSTAGRAM TRIVIAS
Instagram trivia on Black Friday
Left: Here is a PDF of the document I made for my Instagram trivia on Black Friday. With my questions and answers, I wanted to report on Black Friday in ways that would appeal to readers. To create this trivia I looked up some fast facts and then more longer pieces of information I could use. I chose this trivia topic because Black Friday is an interesting part of pop culture and I knew it would be entertaining. I also used social media to post Black Friday trivia on Black Friday for a timely angle. On the right is a PDf that has the design version of these questions that was used for the actual trvia story posts.
Instagram trivia on inauguration
Left: Here is a PDF of the document I made for my Instagram trivia on Donald Trump's inauguration. With this event being national news, I wanted to report on the inauguration itself and some fun facts on inaugurations in the past. With it being a one-day event, I wanted to post it before the date passed, and with social media outreach, I was able to do that. Social media also makes our work more accessible to our readership and who doesn't like a fun game of trivia?
