Facebook for Journalists
I had the opportunity to listen to a presentation created by Ben Meyerson of the Chicago Tribune, who spoke about how social media could benefit the modern-day journalist now more than ever before. His main points of the presentation included: Building your presence, Discovering content + communities, Telling your story, Safety for journalists and Resources for journalists + publishers. I’m going to talk about the main things I pulled from each of those topics that I think could be useful for others to know.
Building your presence - Dan Rather called Facebook “ a virtual town hall” that made it easier to have conversations with an audience that allowed each of their voices to be heard. Myerson explained that public reporters should build out on their Facebook profiles by setting their posts to the public so more people can interact with them. This allows them the reach that they need while also letting them keep control over their content.
Discovering content + communities - Myerson explained that both Facebook and Instagram could be vital tools for newsgathering. On Facebook, the search bar is an incredible resource for journalists to sort information by keywords, source, day, location and even by photos, video and straight text. Instagram, on the other hand, is an incredible resource to sort by location as well as hashtags to find new angles on a story. He explained having a “finsta” dedicated to your beat will allow finding sources and content much easier in the long run.
Myerson also explained how to build communities on Facebook. He stated that you should link public pages to private groups to keep those truly interested involved in a community. He went on to explain that to build communities, you need to nurture conversations and have a moderation strategy. With any public group, a moderator needs to set up rules in advance to keep people in line.
Telling your story - involves leveraging your expertise. Myerson explained the key to creating content that people return back to is to use the “Rule of thirds.” This is where you first post your finished product, then behind the scenes work(bonus that didn’t make it in your main story), and then the things that are going on in your life ( sunset at a game or celebrations at work) makes you seem more personable.
Myerson also dropped some tips on how to make a great Instagram story. He suggests that the anatomy of a good story includes using elements that are apart of the platform - a selfie-style intro, use short punchy display copy throughout, use location tags or hashtags, use interactive tools (emoji stickers, poll stickers) liberally, mix up visuals - photos, boomerangs, screengrabs, etc. , embrace GIFS (all the kids are doing it), use a swipe up link to go deeper, bonus points: involve the community. Cater to young people, go heavy on video, tell stories quickly, add sound and subtitles, use the creative tools, and be consistent.
Safety for journalists - Myerson stressed the importance of turning on two-factor authentication. As well as assigning page roles on groups and going through your preferences each year to keep them updated.
Resources for journalists + publishers - There is a Facebook group specifically for those in the media called - media publishers - that we could join. facebook.com/journalists - has training material for journalists facebook.com/newsmediaupdates - if you want a newsletter sent to you
Overall, the presentation was an incredible resource that was very eyeopening on how things like Facebook and Instagram could be used professionally. Thank you to Ben Myerson for this presentation and I hope others find it as helpful as I did.

Today is the start of the 48 hour film festival at Missouri Western. This is my 3rd time participating in the festival and I'm thrilled to have a great team to work with.

First Facebook Livestream
I had my first experience live streaming an event at the Dia de Los Muertos Spanish cultural event on Halloween. The experience was overall rewarding and educational although I made a lot of mistakes.
In the beginning, because it was an event with lots of presentations I was very awkward and didn’t want to speak up a lot to explain what was going on. There also weren’t many people so it made getting interviews difficult. I also found it difficult to keep track of time while live streaming so I kept creating new streams because I thought they were getting long.
Although I struggled this was my first one and it wasn’t bad if I do say so myself. That gives me hope that the experience will allow me to create an even better and more interesting stream in the future.
This week we released photos for the art and wine walk that happened downtown. Although it was simple it still got the word out that he was participating in the event.
Dillon wants to push hard to promote preordering his christmas tins and corporate tins.
Your MC’s (Main Character’s) emotion tells the story. Button a scene or sequence by showing her joy, disappointment, worry, etc.

Synopsis tip: Don’t dwell on act 1. Just describe the MC’s problem, want or need and plunge into act 2 – the meat of the movie.

Halloween brought a fun photo shoot for Eclipz popcorn. I took a series of photos that would give a fun explanation as to why they would be closed on Halloween but also how customers could pick up the tin beforehand and have their child use it to get candy.
Logline Tip: If it doesn’t fit in a Twitter box, it’s too long.

Crazy Day filming
On Saturday of last week, we filmed our Production 2 film called Crazy Day. This experience was incredibly successful although it was stressful. I served as an art director for this production. We decided 3 days before we were set to film a different script that we would switch to this one because of weather and schedule conflicts. Although this was the best choice it resulted in our group having to go into hyper-speed for preproduction, with just 3 days to do what took us over a month on the other. The wall from the photo was 1 of 2 involved in our set. The two of them took 4 of us 3 very very long nights to accomplish and it was beyond worth it after seeing it on film. The film is currently being edited but I will keep you updated on when it comes out and where you can find it!

Instagram VS. Snapchat
This week we were assigned to look at 5 media profiles over the course of the week on Instagram and Snapchat. During this process, I was struck by just how vastly different the two platforms actually are and how users interact on them.
Overall, Instagram was held to a more professional standard and users wanted well-edited photos with captions that either told a story or could get a reaction. More accounts are beginning to use the story feature but it seems that nobody really knows how to use it just yet as it was filled with either promotions or just reposts of their newest posts. There wasn’t much audience interaction besides just asking questions.
Snapchat, on the other hand, has more posts that aren't as planned and they are more interactive with its audience. Media outlets use swipe up links, polls, quizzes, and fun facts to get their point across and leave audiences feeling like they contributed to something.
Instagram and Snapchat are both social media platforms that promote connecting with others but the degree of personality and professionalism vary drastically between the two. Instagram has the ideology of faking the perfect life whereas Snapchat is a place to show your true form.
Flavor of the week
This week we’re trying something new with Eclipz popcorn. Kalee came up with the idea to have a flavor of the week based around events and national holidays that fall within that week.
To kick things off Dillon wanted Eclipz Mix to be the first flavor posted.
Kalee and I worked together to create a poster template for the flavors that would be easy to alter. It was also our goal to ensure that it was something that could be posted on all of his social media platforms.
