    Thank you for this post and especially appreciate your urging for public communicators in government to “refine techniques and skills to become better, unbiased storytellers.” Among these techniques, you mention use of Facebook Live to stream city council meetings. How do you manage comments during this streaming? Any concern about creating another public forum on Facebook? And, do you stream the entire meeting?

    Ken, you may be interested — Eva Guidarini, head of Facebook’s Government Outreach, is scheduled to speak at the NC City and County Communicators (NC3C) annual conference April 18-20 in New Bern, NC. She is sure to receive many questions about Facebook’s increasing presence in government communications.

      Catherine – I’m picking up on your note about Eva Guidarini, head of Facebook’s Government Outreach, presenting at the NC City and County Communicators (NC3C) annual conference. Was there a report on what Eva said? Any key points of discussion?

      I think there will be more complex challenges for government officials – of all stripes – using private vendor platforms (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) which have their own “community standards” rules, and how they fit with government communication outreach and interaction.
