Flash News: Making Current News Accessible for Young Audiences Before completing my Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Commerce, I launched Flash News, an Instagram page with a journalistic aim: to simplify and adapt current events for a younger audience using engaging social media formats. Through short videos, carousels, and visually appealing posts, I aimed to bridge the gap between traditional news and the fast-paced, digital-first preferences of young readers. Creating and managing Flash News not only allowed me to explore social media as a powerful communication tool but also equipped me with the skills needed to manage other social media channels effectively. This hands-on experience became invaluable when I later took on the management of the Instagram page for 4seo communication, applying the insights I had gained in content strategy and audience engagement. This project ultimately inspired me to pursue a Master’s in Journalism and Multimedia Communication, where I continue to deepen my knowledge and passion for journalism and digital communication. Although my current academic commitments limit the time I can dedicate to Flash News, I’m hopeful to return to this project in the future, integrating everything I’ve learned along the way to make impactful, youth-oriented content.
