Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s social media policy

1. Do not mix the pro­fes­sional and the per­sonal in ways likely to bring the ABC into disrepute.

2. Do not under­mine your effec­tive­ness at work.

3. Do not imply ABC endorse­ment of your per­sonal views.

4. Do not dis­close con­fi­den­tial infor­ma­tion obtained through work.

The above guide­lines were dis­trib­uted to the staff of the Aus­tralian Broad­cast­ing Corp. on Nov. 4, 2009, by email and reported in var­i­ous places.

Very sim­ple and straight for­ward. Will apply it at the Island as well.

This was sup­posed to be a Page, not a Post, but I’ll keep it up and copy it over.

Sim­ple and to the point. I like the first point in that you can still bring per­son­al­ity within social media, just as long as it doesn’t hurt the com­pany (ABC)

Social media is that — social. It needs to take some of the shell off com­pa­nies and show a bit of transparency.
