I'm Annie Aguiar, audience engagement producer for The Poynter Institute.

I currently run social media for Poynter (I’m especially proud of the Instagram) and work on projects to expand our reach and engage established audiences. I’m also an occasional contributor to daily newsletter The Poynter Report and the Poynter.org website.
