For exam week, the school had a modified schedule, and The Muse thought it would be a good idea to post about it, along with any other pertinent exam information, so students could be sure of when their exams were. I used my copy skills to write a AP Style-approved caption that followed all of the necessary rules. This process was fairly easy, although live coverage goes through a speedier process when it comes to deadlines.

It is important to share information relevant to the student body, so they can engage with our other content and stay informed for what is happening on our campus.
In an effort to spread important information to the student body, we often post schedules of school events, whether that is for Spirit Week dress-up days or schedule adjustments. I took the initiative of creating a graphic and caption for the second semester exams schedule post on our social media. It was a new experience for me to design content like this, but it meant a lot when I saw students reposting it to tell their friends about the exam schedule.
It is so important to maintain a credible reputation and allow every student to be correctly represented by our publication. Errors occur, but they should be minimal and fixed as soon as possible.
Every staffer cannot always add another coverage project to their workload, but there is a plethora of possible story ideas that are sometimes passed over because the person who heard about the topic cannot write it.
Our readers hold a high sense of trust in our publication, and it is imperative that we meet these standards with correct information.
Writing briefs allows the student body to be informed with fresh, quick information.
