Jessica Yellin Instagram – NYTIMES INSTAGRAM
Check this out. The @nytimes is up with a piece on Instagram becoming a home for news! We agree Instagram has a troubled relationship with news and news providers (or maybe we should say a troubling relationship….) Thank you to @whatsupna and @mike_isaac for featuring News Not Noise.
When we started News Not Noise in 2018, I only knew of one account posting news on Instagram — a Texas reporter with the account @smarthernews whose name I’ve sadly forgotten. At the time there was no other national journalist doing this. It was before reels existed and before TikTok videos were a thing. We took a big leap, started sharing news this way and proved there is an audience on Instagram hungry for fact-based information, curated and told clearly from a friendly voice. That paved the way for so many others to follow. I’m honored to be mentioned alongside news creators @mosheh @sharonsaysso and @emilyinyourphone in this article.
Our work requires innovation, creativity, and constant adaptation. We are so glad we’ve proven that this model works, and we couldn’t have done it without you showing up every day, confirming that people do want to be part of a community that cares about being informed. That cares about facts, expertise, and our impact on the world.
This is more important than ever in an election year. And Instagram is increasingly making it difficult to reach an audience. So to help us stay strong and reach new people — I’m making a request of everyone. If you care about the work we do to bring you calm, fact-based news even as the IG algorithm suppresses it:
⭐️ Please send this account to 3 friends who don’t follow us and ask them to follow. (You could send it to more than 3 if you’d like 😊)
And you can read the NYT article at the link in stories & bio.
Thanks for making this such a fantastic community!
