Purpose The policy should state the purpose of the policy to obtain or convey information that is useful to, or will further the goals of, the government. 8
9 2. Approval and Administration An administrator should be appointed to oversee and supervise the social media sites of the government. The administrator should be trained on the policy and his or her responsibilities. 3. Comment Policy The policy should identify the type of content that is not permitted on the site and that is subject to removal. 4. Compliance with Laws The policy should contain language concerning compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and policies, including FOIA, OMA and records retention. 9
10 5. Employee Usage Policy The policy should establish clear guidelines and boundaries for employee social media activities. Employee Usage Policy, cont.
