New Report in: SocialSensr makes for Better Journalists and Editors
Give a Voice to the Voiceless
Often, those with the most important concerns are heard the least. As a journalist, you have the important duty of making sure that real issues get real coverage:
• Get to the heart of what’s on people's minds, using the Trends Widget. The Trends Widget tracks content, content sources, and hashtags that’s been on the rise over the past week, two weeks, and month. With the Trends Widget, you can transform these topics from social media buzz into newspaper headlines.
• Another important feature of the Trends Widget is its attention to hashtags. Using the insight the Trends Widget gives you into hashtags gaining popularity, you can jump into and lead conversations while they’re still fresh. That’s how you become a journalist and thought leader at the same time.
Be There, Even when you Can't Be
Writers often wish they had more than two hands, or that they could be in multiple places at once. Journalists especially:
• Know you'll be busy transcribing another interview on a deadline? Schedule posts for later publishing. Your posts will published on the social media platforms of your choice, while you work.
• Refer to the Content Calendar for a display of your scheduled messages. Review, edit or remove your scheduled messages. Or add another one!
Become the Most Trusted News Source
By using our social media management tool, you’ll make sure that your readers trust you when it comes to the news:
• Make your readers come back for more by stimulating continued web traffic They’ll continue to come back as long as you stimulate web traffic by writing relevant and original news articles.
• Another way of garnering trust is to engage! Commenting on posts made by your readers or sources is a great way to let them know you’re there.
• Measure your influence and effectiveness with Analytics. From your follower growth to reach, and engagement. That and much more, without any additional cost.
Let your People Guide your Content
People love to talk. About events, big or small. They share photos, post videos, and use hashtags. You love to find newsworthy content. You write articles, you distribute the news. This is where SocialSensr comes in, to help you become a better journalist of editor.
• Your Social Inbox unifies posts from all your social media channels. It lets you filter through those posts, so you can control what you see. See someone who constantly posts important information? Tag them, so you can track their content as it’s posted. Too busy hunting down leads for your next report? Flag items for future reading. Or type a keyword into the Buzz Monitor, to highlight posts containing those keywords.
• Create a content library, by adding your pre-categorized content from your Feedly Feed. Discover the content of your choice with the “Discover” option, which lets you search for content based on a specific key word or phrase. Subscribe to these, or tag and flag them.
