They made sure coverage was shared across multiple social platforms, formatted to audience expectations for those platforms. They also made sure to follow up on the initial breaking news with updates that were pertinent to their audience. That they also seem to have branding templates in place to help them share news faster is definitely beneficial when breaking news becomes a developing story, as in this case. Fantastic work!
