How Instagram Fellows are Helping Transform Local Newsrooms

Meet three young journalists who spent their college break in local newsrooms across the country developing and implementing an Instagram strategy that supports each publisher’s business goals, as well as a playbook with easy-to-execute strategies for editors to maintain the profile after the fellowship. Fellows will share strategies to reach a larger and younger audience, increase engagement and generate subscriptions from Instagram.
