QUESTION 20 OF 28

What is your experience with social media?

Political reporters are expected to be updating social media with information about their stories so the public can have the most up to date information throughout the day on stories they care about. They may be expected to tweet, use Facebook, Instagram, and even Facebook Live during their shifts. The candidate should discuss their experience with social media and what kind of social media user they are.

"I grew up with social media and consider myself an expert at it. I am skilled at balancing my work with also updating the public quickly in quick bits of information and videos when possible."
