Michigan in Color, The Daily's section by and for People of Color, is recruiting talented social media co-managers to disseminate educational information on MiC’s social media; ideate fresh, original content to expand our online reach and oversee the implementation of such social media initiatives. Social media managers are expected to have a strong grasp of Instagram, our most influential social media platform, as well as Twitter and Facebook. In the current age, MiC is committed to educating and providing aid for communities, and this includes utilizing our social media following. As such, social media managers should be keenly aware of socially responsible resources and issues whose awareness can be spread via social media, like mutual aid, scholarships, historical overviews, etc. in order to share them on MiC’s story and MiC’s feed through weekly roundups. Social media managers should be collaborative and creative, and they should be excellent problem solvers and innovative thinkers. Speedy, reliable communication is required, as is attendance of weekly MiC meetings to build community and keep staff up-to-date on section information. MiC is a community of truth, and we seek to expand the variety and reach of our knowledge. Come join our family!
