During my first two years on the staff, one of the primary ways I helped attract readers to our social media was by Live Tweeting large sporting events. I gradually became the primary staffer to Live Tweet events, from varsity football games to the FHSAA 8A baseball state c hampionship game. Even simple things like tweeting out a picture of the scoreboard after the game helped. We also used Twitter to promote our website, and subsequently our print edition, by tweeting out links to newly posted stories. At our most populer, our main Twitter account @hagertyjourn, had over 1000 followers with tens of thousands of interactions interacions for our most populer tweets.
