The Daily Texan

The Daily Texan is the most awarded college newspaper in the country and serves the University of Texas at Austin. The social media team helps share the work of the staff to over 99K accumulative followers.

Below are some examples of the social media copy that I wrote and edited, but this is not an exhaustive list.

After Saturday’s loss to Kansas, Texas football teammates and coaches describe how the locker room is divided into the three groups: all in, still trying to figure it out and players who don’t want to be a part of the program.https://t.co/n9YRo9GKzf pic.twitter.com/GqxkLUBzqg
