Local_News_Brand_Ambassador

Join Enpak Social’s News You Can Use Ambassador Program!

Do you believe local news should be more engaging, accessible, and fun? Enpak Social is launching News You Can Use — a short, creative video series designed to reconnect people with the news that matters in their everyday lives.

Each 2-minute segment features someone sharing:

2 useful pieces of local news

2 local events
— all while doing a simple, everyday activity like cooking, cleaning, or working out.

We’re inviting journalism students, emerging influencers, local journalists, and community storytellers to become News You Can Use Brand Ambassadors. As an ambassador, you’ll create and share your own segment highlighting what’s happening in your community.

This is an opportunity to:

• Elevate your voice and perspective
• Showcase your creativity
• Build a portfolio piece that combines journalism and digital storytelling
• Help your community reconnect with the news in a new way

Interested? Apply to join our first cohort of News You Can Use Ambassadors!
