Social Media and The media industry

In the modern age the best way to get  work is to sell yourself the most popular way to do this nowadays is through social media. There are many sites that magazines and journalists use these include :

• Pinterest
• Twitter
• Instagram
• Facebook
• and many more 

The one I have chosen to use mostly is Twitter here there is access to magazines, celebrities and other journalist allowing me to not only know the current news but they can also see the work that I produce. 

My twitter account has been set up specifically to grow contacts and reach out to attract readers. My feed is mostly filled with reports and articles in a  shorter form.

As you can see from this part of my feed I can see all the latest stories posted every minute by different publications here you can see three that have been posted only one minute ago from here I can make my comment on the story and retweet stories I am interested in. This allows me to gather knowledge about how magazines work and I can see each step they take to produce an article. As well as following newspapers and magazines I also follow celebs and other VIPs such as:

Although not all of these people are well known they all influence the media industry by following twitter accounts of people like John Green or Ansel Elgort you can see their latest stories or films and write an article about it before anyone else you can also reach out to them this way and let them have their comment on a particular story that maybe connecting to them. Here you can also see that I follow other film related twitter accounts so that I can produce reviews on the latest film trailers or comment on the latest film gossip.

Tweeting on this account is easy as you cane either comment to join a conversation about a topic using a hashtag which change almost everyday but you could also just tweet out to the people that follow. The tweets I often put up on my account are about a blog that I run , I tell people once I have put blog posts. Here is a  example :
