While I was speaking at an event last week, someone asked me to give an example of a journalist who is using social media effectively.

There are many amazing reporters ( @ameliargh, @stokel, @TaylorLorenz, @RVT9 or @linzasaur, to name a few) who *use* social media to promote their reporting, interact directly with their audience, source material for their articles, and chat about their beat in general.
Then there& #39;s a generation media outlets who evolved on social and know how to *create for* a social-first audience.

I am very excited about this new journalist-turned-creator model and how it can establish closer, more authentic relationships between reporters and their audiences, and take journalism beyond the confines of traditional channels and formats: https://www.alexvoica.com/journalist-creator-economy/">https://www.alexvoica.com/journalis...
