Many of us use social media to discuss world events and share personal news, and it鈥檚 important that we all remember that there are rules and expectations for the way we do that. There鈥檚 detailed guidance on social media use which can also help everyone who works for the 大象传媒 to meet its commitment to impartiality. That guidance applies regardless of whether or not professional or personal social media accounts are used.
Here鈥檚 some of those rules:
- Always behave professionally, treating others with respect and courtesy at all times: follow the 大象传媒鈥檚 Values.
- Don鈥檛 bring the 大象传媒 into disrepute.
- If your work requires you to maintain your impartiality, don鈥檛 express a personal opinion on matters of public policy, politics, or 鈥榗ontroversial subjects鈥�.
- Don鈥檛 criticise your colleagues in public. Respect the privacy of the workplace and the confidentiality of internal announcements.
