Reverse Engineer a Social Media Post

INSTAGRAM POST

  1. What is the main purpose of the post?
    • Promotion of an artist! The purpose of the account, and thusly every post, is to inspire the audience.
  2. Who is the audience of the post?
    • Designers, women, book lovers.
  3. How does the post connect with the audience?
    • By making a seasonal and emotional connection--Fall! And by producing visually appealing images.
  4. What value does the post provide to their audience?
    • I'm part of the audience. I love following this account. The value for me is mainly inspiration. But close behind that is motivation - motivation to create work beautiful enough to be featured on the page. Plus, networking! Connecting with fellow book designing women.. 
  5. How does the post's design connect and communicate with the audience?
    • In this case it's all about the channel. Because this post is featured on Instagram, there's not a lot of room for design. But the benefit of Instagram design is that it makes connecting and communicating easy! It's also connecting through storytelling, as mentioned before. The seasonal colors connect the audience (and any breathing human being) in an emotional way.
  6. What metrics (likes, shares, re-tweets, etc.) will be used to determine if the post is successful?
    • Likes, comments (stronger indicator of engagement), shares, engagements per follower, followers gained, but most important is GROWTH! You have to start somewhere and growth is the greatest indicator of success (IMHO).
IF I COULD MAKE A SUGGESTION--> This post needs hashtags. Hashtags can make a post so much more discoverable! It's also a great way to measure user engagement.

When I first think of journalism's connection to the word "verification" I  only think about the importance of legitimate sources and fact checking. While these are part of verification, there is still so much more! This quote below helps me realize everything verification does for journalism: How do you sift through the rumors, the gossip, the failed memories,  the manipulative agendas, and try to capture something as accurately as possible,  subject to revision in light of new information and perspective?  How do you overcome your own limits of perception, your own experience,  and come to an account that more people will recognize as reliable?  By watching His Girl Friday we were able to see a lot of t...

Ethical Journalism

In class last week we learned a lot about the ethics of journalism. It was SWEET! I've never had to put myself into some of those positions. The group presentation made journalism so much more exciting! They taught us that by following these guideline called "Poynter's Questions for Ethical Decisions" we can decide whether pursuing or running something as a journalist is a good choice.  Poynter's 10 Ethical Questions: 1. What do I know? What do I need to know? 2. What is my journalistic purpose? 3. What are my ethical concerns? 4. What organizational policies and professional guidelines should I consider? 5. How can I include other people, with different perspectives and diverse idea, in the decision making process? 6. Who are the stakeholders - those affected by my decision? What are their motivations? Which are legitimate? 7. What if the roles were reversed? How would I feel if I were in the shoes of the stakeholder? 8. What are the possible consequences ...
