For discussion five I will focus on Doctors Without Borders and their Instagram account. Doctors Without Borders is a worldwide organization that provides medical relief and aid to those that are in emergency situations in many countries. It is important to note that Doctors Without Borders is owned by its own staff, therefore creating an environment that never lets anyone get too powerful and insures they stay true to their goals and mission.
Instagram is growing rapidly around the world, and from our recent lectures we know that pictures are extremely important and often times get more of a response than words. Images make you stop and look at what is going on and ask for you to understand them. For those reasons Instagram is especially important for an organization such as Doctors Without Borders.
Immediately after looking at the pictures that Doctors Without Borders posts on their Instagram I noticed how moving and thought-provoking the images were. Each and every picture has a big meaning; whether it is doctors helping children or happy kids faces after being helped the images make you feel something.
All of the pictures that Doctors Without Borders posts are high resolution and a good-looking picture- they are never blurry. You can tell that the organization cares about what they are putting out on social media and especially Instagram. You can tell when an organization cares about their content because they post quality images with multiple things to observe on it.
It is also important to notice that they receive a lot of likes on the pictures they post. This means they are giving the public what they are looking for from such a page. The likes range from hundreds to thousands with comments on every picture sending well wishes to those helping Doctors Without Borders.
Doctors Without Borders is a great example of creating content that makes the public engage with them. Even on a few of the posts there are questions on how to donate and suggestions on creating a way to donate through Instagram. People are more than willing to help Doctors Without Borders because they show how things really are and provide important aid where it is needed most. The images they use speak to their followers and make them want to make a change and a difference in the world. I am extremely impressed with their Instagram account and how well they proved themselves to be on social media.
