Standing Out On Social In This Historic Year At NewsTECHForum

Vic Miccolucci

Marie Coronel

Social media-savvy journalists from newsrooms across the U.S. will share some of the exceptionally engaging work they’ve produced around this year’s life-changing stories in a panel at TVNewsCheck’s NewsTECHForum, presented virtually in December.

The panel features Marie Coronel, reporter at E.W. Scripps’ KGTV; Vic Miccolucci, reporter at Graham Media’s WJXT in Jacksonville, Fl.; Alex Miller, politics reporter at Newsy; Mykal Vincent; digital content producer at Gray Television’s WAFB in Baton Rouge, La.; and Mike Woods, meteorologist at Fox O&O WNYW New York. TVNewsCheck Editor Michael Depp will moderate the discussion, which will take place on Dec. 18 at 1 p.m. ET.

“Social media remains an indispensable platform on which TV news must extend its reporting and engagement, and 2020 amplified that importance even more,” Depp said. “Marie, Vic, Alex, Mykal and Mike are ringers on social in their respective newsrooms, and they’ll each share examples of how they used social to powerfully extend what their stations are able to do on their linear broadcasts and connect more deeply with their audiences.”
