The document discusses how to use Storify to curate social media content and tell stories. Storify allows users to collect relevant social media posts from platforms like Twitter, Facebook and Flickr to enhance news articles. The document outlines best practices for when and how to create a Storify, including checking for an active social media conversation on a topic first, organizing posts chronologically or by topic, and notifying people included in the Storify. Storify can add new dimensions to journalism by highlighting user-generated content and perspectives.
Storify lets you create stories with social media. It's a powerful platform that allows you to search for and accumulate relevant social media posts, links, photos and videos, and assemble them with your own content.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

How to curate
social media
GATEHOUSE NEWS & INTERACTIVE DIVISION
2. Agenda
• What is Storify?
• Why should we use it?
• When should you Storify?
• How do we use it?
• Bells & whistles
• Takeaways
• Questions? Comments?
3. What is Storify?
• Storify is a website that helps you tell stories in a
timeline format by sorting through and choosing
posts from social media such as Twitter, Facebook
and Flickr.
• You decide what in the flood of information
matters.
• Storify can be the story but more often we will use
it to enhance a story by embedding it within our
article on our website.
5. What is Storify?
“We did not intend for people to just throw together
social media and create a scrap pile of tweets. The
name is ‘Storify’ because it’s about making stories.
It’s about changing how journalism works to
acknowledge the fact that everyone on the ground
is potentially your eyewitness, and it’s about
empowering journalists to draw from that source
material.”
-- Burt Herman, Storify CEO and co-founder
6. Why should we use Storify?
•Storify can add new angles to a story you may not
otherwise have; it can show emotion connected to an
issue.
•It’s an added dimension to our storytelling.
•In a sea of Tweets and Facebook posts, YouTube
videos and Instagram photos, you help the reader
sort through it all and highlight the information that
adds value to their experience.
•We can’t be everywhere all the time. Let the eyes
and ears of our readers help tell a story, especially
when we can’t, and in their own words.
•Because it’s cool!
7. When should you Storify?
We’ve been encouraging increased engagement in
social media:
Facebook
8. When should you Storify?
Top national stories
Pop culture
Weather
Big local issues,
but check
Twitter first. You http://storify.com/weatherchannel/
can’t Storify if
social media
isn’t talking
about it.
9. When should you Storify?
SAMPLE STORIFIES:
• Local judo Olympian wins gold
• Local gymnast Olympian takes fourth
• Local gymnast’s Olympian team takes gold
• Constant helicopter activity alarms residents
• Local boxer to fight at Gillette Stadium
• Bears in two areas of state
• People question candidate’s employment
• Python found in yard
• Flags banned at condo, people outraged
• Chick-fil-A controversy (with editorial)
10. How to use Storify.
1) Create an account.
Use a paperwide
username and
e-mail address.
11. How to use Storify.
2) You may want to poke around Twitter first to
see if there even IS a conversation going on
around a topic.
3) Log in to
Storify.
4) “Create
Story.”
12. How to use Storify.
The left side of the screen is your timeline. The right
side is where you find material.
headline
intro graph
5) On the left: write a headline
in the first box. Write an intro
in the second box. You could
include the URL to your site’s
story or the homepage at the
end of your intro. (for those
visiting from Storify)
13. How to use Storify.
6) On the right hand side, work your
way through the various social media
sites.
•Plug in a keyword. Hit return.
•Drag the posts you want to your
timeline.
•Save occasionally.
14. How to use Storify.
Twitter: This usually yields the most content.
There are sub-options such as “User,” which
is where you can find a Twitter account by
user name.
Facebook: You can intersperse the
Facebook posts with the Twitter posts or
drag them all at the end of the timeline
and rearrange the order later as you
decide how to present things.
YouTube: Take the time to watch the
video. You can drag it to the timeline,
watch it and delete it if you decide
it’s inappropriate.
15. How to use Storify.
Flickr: This is where you can find photos to
break up text if you didn’t already get some
out of Twitter and Facebook.
Instagram: There aren’t a ton of photos for the
sorts of things we’re looking for here, so it
tends to time out with no results.
Google: This searches Google for websites. You
may want to use whatever the official site is
for whatever your topic is.
16. How to use Storify.
Embed URLs: This is intended for when you
have an embed code (such as from polls or
maps). Play around with this and let me
know if you find good uses.
Think of all of those elements like you would
quotes in your notebook.
Now how should you string them together?
17. How to use Storify.
7) Organize the elements in a way that makes
sense to a reader from top to bottom.
Chronological?
By topic?
Weaving thoughts together?
As you’re gathering the posts, it will start to make
sense how you should present them.
Just click on a post in your timeline and drag it to
where you want it to be if you need to move it.
18. How to use Storify.
8) You should add text between posts or chunks of
posts to tie everything together. As is the case
with all social media, don’t be afraid to have a
lighter voice, if the topic calls for it.
19. How to use Storify.
To add text, simply
hover between
posts and a box
pops up asking
you to “Click to
add text.”
Note that when you
click, no cursor
comes up, but it’s
there. Just start
typing.
20. How to use Storify.
9) When the timeline looks the way you want it
to, click Save one last time. Click Publish.
The first time
you click this,
a box pops
up to “Share
& notify.”
21. How to use Storify.
You can post
this Storify
to your own
Twitter and
Facebook
accounts at
the top.
At the bottom, Storify automatically lists
the people you included in your timeline
and lets you notify them that they’ve been
“quoted.”
22. How to use Storify.
This is a good practice, especially for Twitter,
because they often re-tweet that notification,
which links your Storify and exposes people to
your site if you included posts in your timeline.
10) Tweak any
of the text in
these boxes as
needed, then
hit PUBLICIZE.
23. How to use Storify.
11) The next page is pretty useful. It’s
where you get the embed code, a
URL link and later where you get
stats.
You will find the URL at the top of the
page, in the browser window.
You can also click on Edit to make
changes.
Choose a section where Storify will
include your storify.

FYI-Stats listed in Storify are a bit off.
They usually don’t align with Google

25. How to add to your article in Zope.
1) Copy the embed code from Storify.
2) Click on
Source in the
long body box
in Zope. Paste
the code at the
very end. Click
Source again
and publish
(You may not
see anything
in Zope but it
will appear on
your site.)
26. How to add to your article in Zope.
You can change or add to your Storify timeline
and when you hit Publish again, it will
update the one embedded in your article.
3) You should also copy the Storify URL and
“add relate” it as an external resource to
your article in Zope. This is especially good
for longer stories that continue to a second
page since the embedded Storify won’t be
visible unless they click on page 2 (or
whatever the last page is).
27. How to add to your article in Saxo.
1) Copy the embed code out of Storify.
2) In Lite Editor, click on the HTML button.
Paste the code at the end of the article text.
Click Update at the bottom left of the pop-
up box. Post story as usual.

Add a Storify Bookmarklet to easily grab things
you see on the web.
• Drag the button to
your bookmark bar.
• Be logged in to
Storify.
• When surfing the web,
just click the “Storify
This” button in the bar
if you see something
you want. It will be
waiting for you to drag
onto your timeline in
Storify.
31. Takeaways
1) Check Twitter first! You can’t Storify without buzz.
2) Be proactive – ask your Twitter followers to comment
on a topic. Give them a #hashtag to use so you can
find their Tweets (by plugging into the Search
section). Tell them the best ones will be included in a
Storify.
3) Notify people that you “quoted” them. It’s gratifying
for those you had invited to know their post was
used, and it alerts others of your existence. Then
they re-tweet!
4) Don’t have a scrap pile of Tweets. Organize them like
you would a story, adding text among the posts to
move the narrative along. At the very least, consider
headers or section labels.
5) Try to build the Storify soon after the event – that’s
when you’ll easily find “original” posts and when the
conversation will be hot. But if you poke around and
don’t see a lot of buzz, check again later. Sometimes
it takes a bit for people to react.
