School is back in session, students are still adjusting to all of the COVID-19 protocols, and there are many clubs, sports, and activities that will start soon.

Luckily, the staff of The Advocate and the crew of Eagle Eye News are ready to help. They have created many social media accounts for students to stay updated on events.

“Our primary goal every year with The Advocate and Eagle Eye News is to keep students and all members of the Law community informed and entertained,” English teacher and Advocate and Eagle Eye News advisor Mr. Kulenych said. “This year, since we will be in the building less and since we have so many distance learners, keeping everyone informed is even more important and we are excited to get to work to make that happen.”

The Advocate debuted its Instagram account in March. This year, the account will be managed by new their Social Media Editor-in-Chief Alexis Broderick, and the staff of The Advocate. 

On Instagram, students will be informed about schedules, announcements, and can find links to all Advocate articles. The account will also feature interviews, an interactive Ask The Advocate question and answer section, and student-produced videos.

Since Instagram is one of the biggest social media platforms out right now, it is a good way to connect with the students.

“The Instagram account has definitely been a success so far,” Kulenych said. “It gives us another avenue to get information to students outside of our website and Twitter. The kids have done a great job creating content for it.”

The Advocate Twitter is run by the staff of The Advocate and is similar to the way the Instagram is run, however, there are more highlights videos for seniors, clubs, and sports. They also have promo videos for the student’s accomplishments or the school’s upcoming events and is a hub for all Jonathan Law teacher, advisor, coach, and administrator tweets.

“Twitter is a great way for the new students to get in the loop of things if they are a bit confused,” senior Rani Roderick said. “Going into Jonathan Law as a freshman I would always use Twitter to stay updated about school delays, lunch, and what letter day it is.”

The Eagle Eye News YouTube channel is run by Jonathan Law’s Broadcast Journalism class and is set up like an actual news studio. This is a fun way for students to introduce themselves, provide new information going on in the school, lunch schedules, and presenting a word of the day, and explaining a fun fact about it. 

The Advocate is Jonathan Law’s online newspaper which can be found at jlawadvocate.wordpress.com.

“I like The Advocate because the staff of The Advocate always keeps it fun and entertaining with many different topics, yet they still provide you with important school related information,” senior Alexis Agyemang said.

In The Advocate, readers can find articles about Law news and read the staff’s entertainment reviews and editorials.
