Who we are:
Facebook is Eating the WorldEmily Bell, CJR 2016
“Social media hasn’t just swallowed journalism, it has swallowed everything. It has swallowed political campaigns, banking systems, personal histories, the leisure industry, retail, even government and security. The phone in our pocket is our portal to the world.”
Emily Bell, CJR 2016“With billions of users and hundreds of thousands of articles, pictures, and videos arriving online everyday, social platforms have to employ algorithms to try and sort through the important and recent and popular and decide who ought to see what. And we have no option but to trust them to do this.”

GOAL: they’re already on FB; you want to make sure they are seeing your content.
When it comes to FB … non-specific language in status bar
increases engagement – and length increasingly matters.
photos tend to do better if they have WOW factor (and hyperlocal focus)
Creating loyalty to your FB page Takes time, patience
and dedicated effort (and, more than ever, money) to grow and maintain an audience – these can be in short supply for student media.
Make a plan ~ the BIG THREE Designated person or, preferably, team
What’s your voice? what type of messages matter? (hint: HYPERLOCAL) tone/style of the content
Schedule posts: routine/consistency is important
