The Prizes Department at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism
The Department oversees and many of the most prestigious awards in the industry: Lukas, Cabot, Chancellor, Oakes, and duPont-Columbia.
From 2021 to 2023, I coordinated social media campaigns for these awards. This included pitching and producing videos, writing script, editing, and creating motion graphics. Two of these campaigns ran on Twitter and Instagram for over three months each, and required the coordination and production of over 50 videos.
Below is a sample of some of this work. Search for the hashtags #duPont2023 and #duPont2022 on the official Columbia Journalism Instagram and Twitter accounts to see more content I produced.
