Social Media for Reluctant Journalists

Do you feel you should be more active professionally on social media? But do you struggle to know where to start - or feel too uncomfortable putting yourself out there? This session will reveal how social media can help your journalism career and support you to overcome the barriers stopping you from posting online.

For years, award-winning freelance journalist Rosie Taylor was terrified of being on camera and had never opened the TikTok app. Now, she successfully shares her journalism on Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn. She understands how difficult it can be for traditionally-trained journalists to step out of their comfort zone into social media - especially if, like her, you are not a “digital native”.

In this session you will learn:-

• How being active on social media can benefit your journalism
• How to overcome feelings of embarrassment, imposter syndrome and other barriers to posting on socials
• What practical tools you can use to make creating content easier
