BREAKING NEWS VISUALLY

When police officers were shot at a racial justice rally in Dallas, two of our photo and video tweets became main vehicles of disseminating the news with over 1.9M total engagements

ABOUT

THIS

As digital creators and editors, we are now our own "paper carriers," directly distributing the news ourselves. I've used a combination of our departmental social media channels, our newspaper's flagship channels, and my own personal channels to engage readers with our newsroom's visual journalism. This includes breaking news ourselves, sharing important or interesting work,  planning visual content for social distribution of projects, engaging in conversations, and crowdsourcing.
