My social media policies database is now up to 162 policies. I troll the internet periodically to add new policies as they become public.
If you are looking to draft your own social media policy, the policies in the database are a good place to start.
Currently they are organized into these industries
- Education (5)
- Financial (2)
- Government (40)
- Healthcare (17)
- Law Firm (3)
- Media (18)
- Non-profit (11)
- Professional services (16)
- Retail (10)
- Sports (3)
- Technology (24)
- Utility (1)
Plus, there are a 10 generic templates.
Clearly, government is over-weighted in the database. Is it because government bodies are ahead of private industry when it comes to creating social media policies? I doubt it. I think they are just more likely to publish the policy or otherwise make it publicly available.
If you want to contribute a policy to the database, you can use the form below.
