Organization
Strong organization is essential to ensuring our social media operations run efficiently. It helps create a smoother experience for photographers and prevents social media managers from needing to overstep or take on unnecessary responsibilities.
Initiative #1:
Social Media Spreadsheet
event calendar
event sign-ups
post to-do list
The social media spreadsheet, which is located in the publication's central drive, acts as an accessible and reliable resource for all staffers to gain experience in both photography and reporting. Through the multiple tabs of the sheet, such as the calendar, sign-up sheet and to-do list, we are able to streamline the entire process from start to finish. Keeping such organization is vital to ensure staffers feel comfortable signing up for events and to instill new passion in participants to continue practicing photography.
Initiative #2:
Class Camera Tracker
Inadequate coordination of class camera devices was one of the essential problems we faced in having regular social media content. Often times, staffers were not notified of the camera's position prior to their scheduled events, and this occasionally frustrated their effort at recording and executing their activities. We instituted a systematic tracking system to address this problem. Under this new process, whenever staff members checked out a camera, they were required to note the date both for check-out and return. With the addition of this level of transparency and accountability, we significantly enhanced the organization and reliability of our equipment use, which ultimately enabled smoother operations and more timley social media coverage.
