According to Pew Research Center’s data,
only 2 out of 10 American adults get their
news from print newspaper.
Hand-held, cyber platforms, including
social media, have been the key players in
changing how we consume news. The
question is, in what ways must we change
in order to reach this demographic?

Times’ Instagram (@nytimes) practices
many strategies in which we can all
learn from. Check out 5 tips we can
learn from New York Times’ Instagram

posts that are not branded and not used to
define your business or marketing objectives.

giving readers a detailed story,
something to ignite their interest.
It is important to tag those who played
a part in the story you are
communicating like photographers,
journalists among others. It provides a
more descriptive story and allows the
viewer to become a part of it.
