Marketing and Audience Engagement

Marketing is a big part of selling yourself and your product. That is why I engage with networking practices, as well as just simply getting the word out. I am one of the most vocal people on our journalism team when it comes to promoting the newspaper and other projects tied to the journalism department.

Social Media

One way we promote our paper is through TikTok and Instagram. I regularly partake in helping make TikTok videos or Instagram posts promoting stories and things going on in the classroom.

Distribution Day!!

In addition to social media, we do a lot of word of mouth. As shown in the video above, distribution day is a whole event for us. We go classroom to classroom, handing out papers to students and staff, encouraging them to read their peers’ work.

Distribution day is one of my favorite days because we walk around with a speaker and have a ton of fun showing off our hard work.

Journalism plays a huge role in my life. It has become deeply ingrained in me, and this motivates me to encourage others to see the art and beauty of journalism, especially in a high school setting where the paper is created by their peers. This helps me to market to and engage new audiences and students in our work.
