Background
Pop Crave offers entertainment and celebrity news in the form of short snippets posted to their social media accounts, taking advantage of the ability to post to such platforms quickly and consistently. Their posts predominately cater towards the online "Stan Twitter" community, often celebrating notable pop culture anniversaries or celebrity birthdays alongside chart data and breaking news. The account also aggregates headlines from other sources as part of their reporting, often tagging the original publication or linking back to the initial article.

Cosme has since engaged a small number of volunteer editors to assist in posting and has launched a functional news site for the outlet to provide longer-form pop culture stories, highlight trending news and provide exclusive celebrity interviews.
