Social Media Strategy

What exactly are you focused on about your social media strategy?

Some of the things that I am focused on in regards to a social media strategy are, expressing myself in a way that can be both productive and fun for anyone who comes across my social media platforms. In other words, I try to focus on how I can share my thoughts and ideas in a way that doesn't provoke arguments or heated debates in the comment section (if there is any.) I try to focus more on how I can get people to react to my posts in a positive way rather than posting something that can anger people. For example, I love photography, so I try to post the most aesthetically pleasing photos that I can in order to gain a positive response from my audience.

Can you name and explain some of the basic principles of a social media strategy?

Some of the basic principles of a social media strategy are learning about your audience, and how to gain a following. In other words, one of the most important things about creating a social media strategy is your audience/followers. One of the best ways to gain a following is to understand your audience and understand what it is that they expect out of you/your social media. For example, going off of my previous example of photography, one of the ways that I can better understand my audience is to post pictures of various things such as: sunsets, food, animals. etc. and seeing which photos gets a good response and which ones do not. Then I can make a note of that in my future posts.

The purpose of the assignment is to think about how to properly think before you post anything on social media.

The key question at the heart of the assignment is what (if any) other types of strategies can you think of to help you when posting on social media in the future?

Week 8 - Editorial on Untruthful News

How to spot Fake News Infographic Fake News and You Technology has advanced so much in the past few decades. Before, people were dependent on newspapers and news reports on the television to get the inside scoop on what was going on with the world. Nowadays, people have the ability to just look up information with just a few keystrokes on their phone. Anytime, anyplace. Unfortunately, with the growing convenience of the entire world's knowledge in the palm of your hand, the is also a growing increase on the amount of fake news. Fake news is exactly that. False news that is being presented as fact to the public. Fake news has become a growing issue over these past few years and it has only gotten worse since the COVID-19 pandemic has become widespread.

Week 3 - Social Media Messages

First Level of Reading 1. Social messages are “constructed.” People feel the need to “showcase” themselves in a positive light to flaunt and show-off to others. Whether it be to your family, friends, and in some cases, even random strangers. This is why there are more pictures of people posing and smiling for the camera, as opposed to candid pictures where the pictures are certainly more “realistic” but sometimes do not make the best pictures to show off to others. 2. Social media messages shape our perceptions of reality. In today’s age of technology, it has become easier for people to only focus on the stories and articles that they feel comfortable reading/watching. However, the media itself is not as reliable as some might think. Putting a spotlight on certain stories because it follows your narrative, creates an echo chamber of similar beliefs and leaves little to no room for people to think fo...
