Becoming Your Own Social Media Manager @ Virtual

Journalists today aren’t just reporting the news — they’re becoming their own social media managers. As more people turn to social platforms as their primary news source, knowing how to promote your work strategically and thoughtfully has become a core journalism skill. Not a bonus one.

Kassy Cho, editor-in-chief of Almost, will lead this virtual workshop and share best practices for sharing your reporting on different platforms like Instagram and TikTok. That’ll include how to draw people in, visuals 101 and tips for defining goals.

This SPJ DC–requested workshop is designed to help reporters meet audiences where they already are. Bring your breakfast and questions for this early-morning session!
