THE GOVERNMENT

only broadens publicity toward the agency, it also imparts a sense of coordination among government bodies.
Agencies and offices with complementing agendas are advised to consistently display a uniformity in its social
media presence. Sustained coordination with social media handlers and public information officers’ of other
government offices and agencies is key to this, as this builds a network for tactical information sharing and
promotion.
Public engagement
Your government agency should have a policy on public engagement via social media. Know the pros and cons of
having an actively responsive account, as opposed to one that merely serves a tool for broadcast. The foremost
consideration is manpower for heightened public engagement; as well as managing the expectations of the
audience regarding the official policy on responses and the preset schedule to process queries.
