The social media stream is divided into different topics. ‘Trending Halloween’ shows content on the keyword Halloween and #halloween, ranked by popularity. With our Instagram geolocation marker, we’re able to fetch Instagram pictures by location, in this case, from the New York City, Chicago, and San Francisco area, also filtered by Halloween and #halloween. ‘Halloween Social Rank’ displays the most trending Vine, YouTube, and Instagram content.

Whether you’re in a breaking news situation, looking for ways to interact with your peers or looking to cover a special event, social media is a critical source of news & commentary. That is because it’s the best representation of what’s happening now. Incorporating the conversation happening on social media into your editorial content therefore gives your readers a real-time stream of the events as they unfold, and encourages them to stay longer and read more pages.

Many people know Halloween as a mere US tradition, but in Europe also Germany celebrates this holiday every year, since the 1990’s. And Germans too have their own (weird) Halloween traditions. Therefore BZ Berlin found a great way to engage with its readers by creating a special Halloween social media stream using Crowdynews’ social media curation platform. They can display safe and relevant social media content about Halloween.
