Poynter Institute is a non- profit school for journalism located in St. Petersburg, Florida. The institution started in 1975 by the owner and chairman of the St.Petersburg Times (now the Tampa Bay Times) and Times Publishing Company, Nelson Poynter. Poynter’s twitter (@Poynter) stays very active every day with four different people feeding out tweets to their followers. Some examples of the articles I read were “tips on how to experiment with social media”, “common writing problems and why you can’t get it ‘perfect’”, “how news app teams get people to trust them”, and “how talking about race isn’t racist”. I think that this news team specifically searches for more interesting approaches to grab people’s attention. They seem to relate more to our generation of young people by putting a spin on what is newsworthy by discussing lighter topics but with a professional approach.
