He works directly with reporters and community leaders to elevate issues that need a boost, connecting WHYY to the community it serves and vice versa. Ross puts a face to issues, finding nuance and connection in a society more segmented than ever. For example, when policies popped up around the country targeting LGBTQ+ people, Ross convened trans voices live on Instagram for Transgender Day of Visibility to hear stories of resilience and joy. Through TikTok, Ross has also experimented with bringing WHYY news pieces to life to engage younger audiences (including shuttering Chester County hospitals and sweltering Philly schools). In total, these videos have amassed over 18,000 views across his personal TikTok and Instagram accounts.

Ross ran and oversaw 200+ events for 1600+ young professionals in the Philadelphia area. From large happy hours to handwritten cards — in-person and virtual — Ross constantly saw trends and how they can bring folks together. Ross met 1:1 with new people each week, each looking for community and a person to connect with them. This became even more crucial, as Ross transitioned all programming and community virtually during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ross produced podcasts, cooking videos, blog posts, and more to strategize Tribe 12’s reach.

It’s essential to get information out quickly and succinctly without letting quality suffer. At one of the Delaware Valley’s best-known radio stations, Ross calmly handled in-the-moment decisions. What’s noteworthy? What’s relevant to the listener? Collaborating with anchors, Ross would wear a writer and a news editor hat on any given day. The key is delivering the top stories in a conversational tone. Big words are great for the SATs, not for someone trying to get the latest on the way to work. Ross stepped in to host KYW’s tri-daily All-Local podcast and has worked on a pilot presentation on historical landmarks in Pennsylvania, which you can hear by clicking below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58d3e438ebbd1a1fe2f8b1a7/1609707145823-KQK37T364YJ63UY6P5IX/Smerconish+and+Richard+Vague.jpg Experience - Social media, Michael Smerconish Ross oversaw Sirius XM and CNN anchor Michael Smerconish’s social media for his first job out of college. Ross analyzed his Facebook and Instagram accounts, recommending strategies to increase the quantity and quality of engagement.
