PROFESSIONAL APPROACH

For this section, I was put in charge of KOMU 8's Facebook Lives from reporters in the field all over Missouri and from the newsroom. I created a schedule for the night spanning several hours of what race or issue would do a Facebook Live and when. I communicated with reporters, anchors, and digital reporters to coordinate when they could go live on the station's Facebook page. Below is the schedule I made, as always it had many drafts and changes (even throughout the night).

KOMU 8 NEWS FACEBOOK LIVE SCHEDULE

This is the schedule I made for the newsroom for Facebook Lives election night. I had help from managers and reporters themselves to know what the newscasts expected of them and what the digital side (i.e- me) expected of them.
