news production. Students also upload pictures of events, sports, clubs, and assemblies. I love Instagram and think every publication should be using it because it is yet another way to connect to your readers — and people love pictures. Ethan Dayton, editor, Fossil Ridge High School, Etched In Stone We use Instagram every now and then, almost as a meta-journalism utility to show the outside world what it is like in the newsroom. Matt Stamey, staff photographer, the Gainesville (Fla.) Sun It is important to keep Instagram separate from editorial work. Instagram is a fun way to connect with younger readers. I just use it for fun. None of the photos are published in the paper or on the site. It is another way to connect with readers. I’ll put a link to a gallery or something like that to get them back to the paper somehow. My boss is totally against using it for the paper and wants to keep it on the social media side only. Sarah Nichols, MJE, adviser, Whitney High School (Rocklin, Calif.) Journalists can use Instagram to shoot and post spot news, non-traditional coverage, multiple perspectives of an event, common hashtags, updates to a story over time and more. They also can use this tool as a way to invite reader participation. Instagram photos should appear on Instagram, not elsewhere. Make sure you are clear on your mission. Do not create an account simply because you can. Talk about what value Instagram adds and how to use Instagram differently. Adhere to common guidelines. Treat it with the same attention to detail required for other publishing methods. While Instagram has more of a casual identity and can be fun or envelope-pushing, it is important to remember that a media organization has its credibility at stake. Leland Mallet, adviser, Legacy High School (Mansfield, Texas) I don’t think any professional publication, including scholastic programs, should depend on Instagram for photos. It should be an outlet to reach readers. Readers feel ownership if they can upload their photos to you. Having a presence on Instagram is important, but it should not be your primary photo outlet. Lori Oglesbee, MJE, adviser, McKinney (Texas) High School Students document their lives through Instagram and Twitter. The yearbook claims to document their lives. It’s a natural marriage of ideas. It’s the inside piece we’ve always needed. We love that students can post to us so easily with a format they are already using. It allows us to tell the story of an event from both sides of a camera. Hang signs at events to let students know where to post their photos for inclusion in the yearbook. Teachers even have students take pictures of their class projects and post them to our Instagram account. ROW 1 Tom Fox, photographer, The Dallas Morning News.

Michael Hernandez, adviser, Mira Costa High School (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) The recent change to Instagram’s terms of service was scary to me and to many of my photographer friends. They went back to the old terms of service, but nothing is for certain. It was originally great as a “Twitter for photos” and as an opportunity for photojournalism in a social way. It was also a great learning tool as you could follow those you admire and learn from them. There are alternatives, but Instagram is popular and has a lot of users. We have an Instagram account for our media, but since we’re broadcast, we don’t do a lot of reporting with it. Instead, we use it for behind-the-scenes shots of our staff as a marketing tool. n Summer 2013 Communication: Journalism Education Today | a publication of the Journalism Education Association | 5

We the last hope for motivation The Patriot Images yearbook of Northern High School, Saint Leonard, Md., used Instagram images throughout the book as a way to get more students involved in the book’s production. Because Instagram’s pictures are boxshaped, the editors decided to have the full-book link include Instagram photos. Titled “What’s In Your Box?” the link asks students what three items they would place in a keepsake box. “We then asked them to submit a photo representing one or more of those items on Instagram by tagging it #nhsbox,” adviser Adrienne Forgette said. “If they were not on Instagram, they had the option of emailing us a photo that we put through Instagram filters.” “By using Instagram, we’re able to incorporate another form of social media that’s really popular at our school and in our county,” editor Alexa Leininger explained. “When students post their Instagram book link tag on the website, other students see the post and are more apt to submit a photo while simultaneously advertising this year’s book.” What’s a hurricane anyway?
