SOCIAL MEDIA
During my time at Cox Media Group (Atlanta Journal-Constitution, SEC Country, DawgNation, Land of 10, etc.) I was an official "manager" for several pages with large audiences. For instance, the SEC Country page had more than 3 million "likes," and I was often charged with creating social-media-friendly content, selecting photographs, writing teases, writing social-media-friendly headlines, and following up with the community.

In early 2016, I traveled to Rome, Georgia, to write a couple stories on Tim Tebow and his fledgling baseball career. I took dozens of quality photos (see "Photography" page for more) for an extra story on the website, and then I convinced my editors that we should also run a Facebook gallery. My post there resulted in 4,400+ Facebook reactions, 225 comments and 440 shares (not including all of the interactions with the individual photographs).

I have plenty of other examples, especially from the first year of the AJC's college-football websites (2015). Feel free to reach out and ask for more on the "About" page.
