Social Media Policy for Newspapers

Col­lege news­pa­pers uti­liz­ing social media like Face­book and Twit­ter, or even on the newspaper’s Web site can ben­e­fit from inter­ac­tion between and with their read­ers. How­ever, as com­ment­ing, shar­ing, links and all other becomes an active part of your news orga­ni­za­tion, a pol­icy may be nec­es­sary to main­tain the integrity of the social media.

We’ve had a few inquiries about this. If your paper has a Social Media pol­icy, a resource for one or some­thing else ben­e­fi­cial, please paste it as a com­ment below, or share a link to it.

    This may not be enough for some news­rooms’ inter­nal pol­icy, but this is a good jumping-off point for many.
