Meet the spring 2023 Digital Director of ‘The Post’ pect the introduction of “Post TV” from Director of Multimedia Cole Patterson. As usual, a photo edition will print in the spring to highlight our photo staff. story’s author. Youtube allows audiences to view interactive interviews conducted by our multimedia staff.

Hello, I’m Anastasia Carter! I’m a junior studying journalism and I’ve spent the past semester serving as The Post’s assistant audience engagement editor. This semester, I’m excited to be The Post’s digital director.

After joining this publication in the Fall Semester of 2020, despite being at home, I was aware of the numerous opportunities it had to offer. I took advantage of writing for different sections, including Culture, News and The Beat. I joined the audience engagement team, created social media posts and learned about analytics while working as the assistant audience engagement editor. I worked with the web development team to create coded special projects. By joining The Post, I’ve been rewarded with a wide assortment of skills that will translate well into the professional field. This semester, I’m ecstatic to impart this knowledge to my fellow Posties and see how we can expand it further.

Although this publication continues to print once a week, not all of our content can go into one issue. Day after day, writers attend protests and events, designers create art, photographers go to games and editors check every last detail to produce content. Our website features pages for each section so you can find content customized to what you are looking for. Videos from our Youtube page and tweets from our Twitter account can also be found featured on our website.

Most of those at The Post are studying journalism, so it’s important to practice other skills within this field. Broadening skill sets to include photography, illustrations, editing and social media knowledge are all things employers are looking for when hiring today. Putting together a media package that covers all of these bases is valuable. Most recently, staffer Sophia Young did this when she reported, photographed and coded her own project.
