Content Programming for the Social Audience

February 20, 2014 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Free for Members; $40 pre-register; $50 at the door

From Buzzfeed and Upworthy to Huffington Post and The Atlantic, news organizations have begun to craft their messages by using a play from the social sciences playbook. In this one hour session, you’ll hear research and examples from various studies, books and Gannett News organizations that aim to answer the question “why do people share on the internet and how can I capitalize on this?”

Learn:
  • what emotions drive people to spread your posts
  • what types of information people share with their connections
  • how to position your content to maximize its reach on social networks
