Let’s face it: Social media is an essential part of the work that we do as journalists. It’s time to develop our skills and a solid social media plan that will meet readers on their social media platforms and bring them to your website, if you have one. If you don’t, that is ok! You are welcome here, because this course will focus on getting everyone up to speed and using social media platforms to meet readers where they are the most…on social media. We will focus on creating powerful journalism on Instagram, developing Twitter handles that serve our readers and tweets that engage them, and using Facebook to meet the middle-aged readers where they are, because we need them! Come and develop your social media skills and create a social media plan that you can bring back to your staff. [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
