Since my freshman year, I admired The Prospector’s social media coverage — the photography and reporting I could read about gave me and those in our student body accessible insight into the events going on in my community. Seeing familiar faces being posted by the publication was appealing and I admired how the coverage was in-depth and focused on our school. The social media page was the main contributor to how I found out about our school’s publication and prompted me to apply for a staff position; who knew that a year later, I would be in charge of the Instagram page. 

 

As a social media editor, my main responsibility is to post media produced by our staffers and manage our social media pages. The Prospector mainly utilizes Instagram and TikTok to highlight Cupertino High School’s student body and its experiences, from athletic events, rallies and performances to election coverage and events hosted by those in the Cupertino community. We also use our platforms to promote our newest issues, online articles and other content our staffers produce.
