Description

Social Media and Local Governments: Navigating the New Public Square 2nd Edition Julie A Tappendorf ISBN 9781639057207

The second edition of Social Media and Local Governments: Navigating the New Public Square updates and expands the original guide to reflect the rapid evolution of social media platforms, terminology, and government use over recent years. As social media adoption by government entities, officials, and employees has grown significantly, so too has the legal framework governing its use. Since the first edition, the United States Supreme Court and other courts have addressed many complex legal questions that were previously unresolved.

Social Media and Local Governments: Navigating the New Public Square, Second Edition offers practical guidance for government attorneys, officials, and employees navigating social media in a public-sector setting. Covered topics include:

  • An overview of social media and its users

  • The benefits of social media for local governments

  • How communities nationwide use social media in public communication

  • First Amendment considerations in government social media use

  • Sunshine laws, disability access requirements, copyright, artificial intelligence, and privacy concerns

  • Social media use by government officials and employees, both on and off duty, and the legal risks involved

  • Ethical challenges for public officials, including members of quasi-judicial boards and commissions, as well as government attorneys
