For over a month in the fall semester, el Don staff collaborated across multiple social media platforms to inform and engage with the collegiate community about the 2020 elections. After conducting Info Needs Assessments earlier in the semester, we discovered that Instagram and Twitter are main sources of information for our audience so we focused our dedicated efforts on pushing reporting through those platforms.

To the right 👉is a video compiling all of our Instagram Stories posted over the course of two weeks, from one week before the election to the week after. Using Instagram tools such as polls, questions and replies, you can see how social media editors were able to create a community of sharing that allowed them to report, update and engage their audience throughout the election.

See below for all other election social media posts, listed in chronological order.

Thank you for your consideration!
