Web and Social Media

As a student journalist, I have learned the importance of utilizing social media to maximize audience reach. Instagram is a major platform for high school students, so The Chronicle and Mason Sports Radio have incorporated them into our coverage. Sports Radio has seen a major rise in interaction and awareness within the school since creating our Instagram account. When I joined the program as a freshman, the only social media coverage we had was on Twitter. Since the fall of 2021, Sports Radio has built up an Instagram following of nearly 2000 followers, and grown the X/Twitter from around 3000 followers to over 4500.  The Chronicle Instagram account has grown to over 1000 followers on Instagram.

I have utilized social media, for both my own work and my teammate's work, as a promotional tool for prompt  event coverage and news stories.
