Social media is a powerful way to engage with your audience and learn more about their needs. While social platforms are great for storytelling, we encourage agencies to use these channels to connect with New Yorkers on a human level and deliver top-notch customer service.
Social media use by City workers and agencies is subject to laws and regulation. These rules cover who can manage social media accounts, how to engage with users, and archiving social media for legal reasons.
Before using social media on behalf of your agency, familiarize yourself with these rules by reading the City’s Official Social Media Policy and Guidebook.
