- #15 Social Media Delivering News to Syrians: Web Engagement and IIP/NEA have been keeping the U.S. perspective on Syria front and center with the Syrian public, working closely with Ambassador Robert Ford and NEA/PPD to distill and post pre-authorized and cleared content on the Embassy Damascus Facebook page. WE staff has also been advising NEA/PPD on achieving optimal impact with Facebook audiences. The page’s engagement ratios are eight times the industry average and the fan base is overwhelmingly Syrian, a testimony to the credibility of the site and strong audience interest in American policy and opinion. During a recent conference, Facebook’s Associate Manager for Public Policy, Adam Conner, cited the Damascus Facebook page as a prime example of the government doing social media right. (WE, NEA)
