To supplement what I regularly publish on the aforementioned two places, Rocket News also maintains a regular Instagram presence. Its current state as one of the biggest school-related accounts on the platform makes it a great place to post sports scores, pictures of recent school events, or any bite-sized pieces of information relevant to the student body.
Starting from scratch at the end of last year, I've progressively built up the account, and in doing so improved my graphic design skills. The new posts regularly reach hundreds of people, and this continuously opens up opportunities for communication with the student body.
I often take to posting frequent still-frame images with scores from many recent school sports games. I found this to be something that the majority of my audience quickly eats up, with several hundred new followers coming after dedicated accounts for the individual sports shown shared some of these posts.
Along with the fancy number graphics, the sports posts occasionally include interviews with athletes and spectators of the events themselves.
These often serve as a win-win: When the interviewees see themselves in a post, they often share it to their followers, which allows the followers to hear their voice while also providing free advertising for the News account!
