Questions regarding the scope of this policy should be directed to the City Administrator, or designee. Definition Social media are internet and mobile-based applications, websites, and functions, other than email, for sharing and discussing information, where users can post photos, video, comments, and links to other information to create content on any imaginable topic. This may be referred to as “user-generated content” or “consumer-generated media.” Social media includes, but is not limited to: • Social networking sites and apps such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Nextdoor • Blogs • Social news sites such as Reddit and Buzzfeed • Video and photo sharing sites and apps such as YouTube, Instagram, SnapChat, and Flickr • Wikis, or shared encyclopedias, such as Wikipedia • An ever-emerging list of new web-based platforms generally regarded as social media or having many of the same functions as those listed above As used in this policy, “employees and agents” means all City representatives, including its employees and other agents of the city, such as independent contractors or councilmembers. “Social media manager” means any city employee or agent with administrator access who, when posting or responding to a post, appears to be the City social media account owner. Rules of Use City social media manager is responsible for managing City social media accounts or websites. Facilities or departments wishing to have a new social media presence must initially submit a request to the City Administrator, or other designee in order to ensure social media accounts are kept to a sustainable number and policies are followed. All approved sites will be clearly marked as the City of Orono site and will be linked with the official City website at: www.ci.orono.mn.us. No one may establish social media accounts or websites on behalf of the City unless authorized in accordance with this policy. The City’s social media page must conspicuously display or link to a public notice that informs the public of the purpose of the social media presence and the terms one agrees to in accessing, using, or posting to the City’s social media page.
