From July through December 2025, I worked as a full-time Homepage Co-op at the Globe, where I took a full semester off of classes to work in New England's largest newsroom. I played a role in day to day digital publishing and audience engagement. One of my primary responsibilities was managing the social media queue, drafting platform-specific copy for X, Facebook, Bluesky, and Threads, and supporting social media distribution during breaking news cycles to ensure timely, accurate coverage reached readers quickly.
In addition to social publishing, I contributed to the Globe’s daily mobile push alerts and email sends, helping to surface top stories and breaking developments to audiences across platforms. This role strengthened my skills in fast-paced news environments, headline writing, and audience-first distribution strategies.
six-month stint with us as an enormously capable member of the team who could
perform any of the actions required of a full-fledged homepage staffer. She
demonstrated her capabilities with social media and breaking news emails and was
especially good at working without direct oversight in a context that required a lot of
multi-tasking."
