The Washington Post +

Instagram partnership

The Washington Post partnered with Instagram to bring 11 college journalists to the newsroom for training on mobile journalism and political reporting for the 2018 midterm elections. I came up with the video concept — each school would pick an issue that was unique to their campus — and taught the students best practices in filming on their phones and editing in Adobe Premiere. Social Media Editor Teddy Amenabar and I traveled to four different universities (University of Florida, Ohio University, University of Southern California and Texas Christian University) to help the student journalists finish editing vertical videos that we then published on @washingtonpost’s Instagram.
