Instagram is a great way to share photos and videos with friends and family, but it can also be a powerful tool for reporting news. Here are some tips for using Instagram to report news:

  1. Use hashtags to help people find your posts. Hashtags are important on Instagram because they help people search for related posts. Use specific hashtags when reporting news so that your followers can find your posts easily.
  2. Use images and videos to tell your story. Images and videos are the best way to capture people’s attention on Instagram. Make sure you use high-quality images and videos so that your followers will want to see more.
  3. Share updates frequently. Keep your followers updated on the latest news by sharing frequent updates with photos and videos. This will keep them interested in what you have to say, and it will also help them stay up-to-date on the latest developments in the story you’re reporting.
  4. Use Instagram Stories as a way to further explore a story or explore different angles of an issue. Stories allow you to explore a topic in more depth, which can give your followers a better understanding of the issue at hand. ..

Instagram has pretty clear terms of service: no harassment, nudity, violence, copyright violation, hate speech, and so on. If it’s something that’s too offensive, Instagram doesn’t want it on their service.

Obviously they can’t police every post, so Instagram relies on users to report any posts that violate their guidelines. If a post gets reported, it gets reviewed by Instagram’s community review team. If they agree that it’s inappropriate, the post will be removed and the account might get banned especially after repeated infringements.

First, find the post that you’ve got an issue with. I’m just using this post as an example. Click the three little dots in the top right corner of the post.

Tap Report and then select a reason: either It’s Spam or It’s Inapporpriate.

If you select It’s Inappropriate, you’ll get a list of reasons to choose from. Pick the one that applies to the situation and tap Report.

You’ll also be given the option to block the Instagram account. If at any point in the process you change your mind, just tap Cancel.

Every social media site relies on their community to keep things civil; that’s the social part of the name. If you see something that upsets you, don’t be afraid to report it. The account won’t be notified so there’s no repercussions for you. The absolute worst that can happen is the Instagram reviewer things it still fits the terms of service and leaves it up.
