re-mediation

For my Re-Mediation project, I ​created an Instagram account for Preserve Hickory, the non-profit organization I established that is central to my project. My audience for this media creation was 12-18 year old teens, most of whom have skied at Hickory. I engaged them through sharing historical photos depicting experiences they had probably had as well. I also invited them to post their own photos with the hashtags I created and direct message me their own photos, which I later reposted. I am currently still working on updating the account consistently and gaining photos. Several of the teens have posted on their own accounts about Preserve Hickory as well. I connected the account to the organization's Facebook page which I also established. Below you will find buttons linking to the different documents that were part of my Re-Mediation process, as well as a live feed of the current Instagram account, and lastly, example historical photos at the bottom of the page.
