The WFIU/WTIU news team incorporates social media into news coverage every day.

Live videos bring our audience into the story as it happens, while produced videos boil down our in-depth reporting into the need-to-know highlights. Our reporters are interacting with our audience on their own platforms daily, building a relationship that leads to greater trust and and new story opportunities.

Here are some of the ways our multi-platform newsroom utilized social media to enhance our every daily coverage.
