BledCom 2013: Towards a connected governmentBruno Amaral
The document discusses the characteristics of a connected government, including being participatory, transparent, sharing information and resources, and enabling action from all stakeholders. It argues that a connected government should act as a network by allowing different nodes to act freely within their areas of focus. It also discusses tools a connected government needs, such as communication tools, free and open access to information, research of big data, and using public bounties to engage citizens in problem solving. The document provides examples of civic projects in Portugal that demonstrate these principles.
This document summarizes a study comparing the use of e-participation tools by public agencies and nonprofit organizations to promote citizen engagement. The study measured the online presence of 11 public organizations and 19 nonprofits using evaluation tools and analyzed the results with t-tests.

Developing Digital Strategies for Web-based Public Access to Government Perfo...Dennis D. McDonald
The current US administration is pushing for more "transparency" which, among other things, has translated into Federal agencies making more of their operational data available to the public. This slide presentation, which summarizes a 17-page "white paper," discusses both strategic and tactical issues associated with making "performance data" about government programs more accessible.
Social software refers to software that supports interaction between groups, even if offline, by extending or adding value to human social behavior. Examples include blogs, social networks, media sharing, and wikis. Significant changes brought about by social software include increased design for participation and impact on social behavior.

The document concludes by recommending that government build an open infrastructure, treat data as a national asset, and create a culture of collaboration.
The Digital and Social Media Revolution in Public AffairsMSL Germany
Europäische Politiker nutzen die Potentiale der digitalen und sozialen Medien stärker als ihre Kollegen in den USA. Während die Mitglieder des Europäischen Parlaments, der Europäischen Kommission, des Ministerrats und die verschiedenen Stakeholder auf europäischer Ebene digitalen Medien einen hohen Stellenwert bei der Public Affairs-Arbeit einräumen, sind die politischen Entscheider in den USA zurückhaltender bei deren Nutzung.
Dies ist das Ergebnis der neuesten Studie der MSLGRPOUP “The Digital and Social Media Revolution in Public Affairs: Where we are and where we’re going”. In der breit angelegten Untersuchung wurden politische Entscheidungsträger in Brüssel und Washington nach ihrer Nutzung sozialer Medien befragt.
Welche Gründe es für die unterschiedliche Relevanz des Internets in der politischen Kommunikation gibt und wie sich das Potential von Digital Public Affairs in den USA und in Europa noch stärker nutzen lässt, hat die MSLGROUP zusammengefasst.
The Digital and Social Media Revolution in Public AffairsMSL
Unlike political campaigns, which were early adopters, the public policy arena has been one of the last bastions to fully embrace digital tools and social networks.
To gauge the integration and perceived impact of digital tools and how constituents and interest groups interact with EU and U.S. policymakers, MSLGROUP surveyed a large, diverse and active group of corporations, trade associations, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), local public bodies and think tanks in and around Brussels and Washington, D.C. in 2015.
The study shows quite clearly that there are tremendous opportunities to expand and enhance the use of social and digital communications in policymaking. We hope this research will inform communication and advocacy strategies to strengthen dialogues between stakeholders and policymakers.
This document summarizes an academic paper that explores debates around spectrum policy on social media platforms. The paper analyzes Twitter data related to spectrum policy to understand the scope and nature of discussions. It finds that spectrum policy debates have expanded beyond traditional participants to include advocacy groups and individuals utilizing new digital tools. However, it is unclear if the general public is broadly engaged. The paper aims to shed light on how technical issues like spectrum policy are debated online and the implications for understanding digital activism.
Social media is no longer a fad or what you do for fun at night. Instead social media plays a big role in how to connect with citizens and improve collaboration in public service agencies. This session will teach you how to use social media effectively in government from tactical tips to insight on navigating the legal and security hurdles.
The document outlines 7 ways that social media contributes to good governance: 1) It brings government closer to the people and allows for civil engagement and participation. 2) It enables an open grievance process and ensures political decisions consider citizen needs. 3) It allows for direct participation and lobbying groups to advocate for issues. 4) It counters misinformation campaigns and promotes transparency. 5) It promotes fundamental human rights like freedom of speech. 6) It provides a fast and cost-effective way to deliver public services and gather feedback. 7) However, social media is a double-edged sword and can also be used against democracy through issues like privacy violations and spreading misinformation.
The document discusses the concepts of network society and open government. It defines key aspects of network society including the shifting of communication models from one-to-many to many-to-many. Open government principles around transparency, participation, collaboration, and being open to innovation are also outlined. Examples of open government tools and initiatives to promote citizen participation and collaboration are provided.
This document discusses how social media has influenced politics. It begins by exploring how the networked nature of the internet facilitated new forms of political engagement. The advent of social media further enhanced this by increasing circulation of information and political knowledge, which can increase political participation. The document then provides evidence of social media's influence on politics by looking at how circulation of information is key in political campaigns, mobilizing social movements, and among political actors and practices. It analyzes how social media has become an important channel for political groups and citizens to share information and viewpoints.

Leveraging Your Social Media Skills (in government)Lauren Modeen
The document discusses leveraging social media skills in government, including the value of digital communications, top uses of social media in government like communicating with citizens and internal collaboration, and tips for implementing social media successfully including aiming for an integrated approach and leveraging existing resources. It also covers trends in social media like transparency, citizen engagement, and real-time response.
1) A majority of Americans said "made-up news" is a critical problem that is expected to worsen and impacts confidence in government. Nearly two-thirds think political divides make the problem harder to address.
2) Deepfake videos and domestic disinformation are likely to play a role in the 2020 US election. Social media companies should prepare by detecting and removing manipulated content and limiting the spread of misinformation.
3) Research shows that providing more relevant counterarguments can help reduce belief in misleading claims and disinformation, rather than strengthening beliefs as some argue. Additional counterarguments did not backfire if they were relevant to the original equivocal claim.
1) A majority of Americans said "made-up news" is a critical problem that is expected to worsen and impacts confidence in government. Most think steps should be taken to restrict made-up news and that news media has the greatest responsibility to reduce it.
2) Deepfake videos and domestic disinformation are sources likely to play a role in the 2020 election. Social media companies should prepare by detecting and removing deepfakes, limiting misinformation spread on platforms, and improving education.
3) Research found videos can be manipulated through missing context, deceptive editing, and malicious transformation, but providing more relevant counterarguments to misleading claims reduces belief in disinformation rather than strengthening it.
A majority of Americans said that "made-up news" is a critical problem that needs to be fixed, and expect the problem to worsen over the next five years. Deepfake videos and domestic disinformation are sources of disinformation that may play a role in the 2020 presidential election. Providing more relevant counterarguments to disinformation leads to reduced belief in the disinformation.

Lipinski & Neddenriep 2004 Using New Media To Get Old Media CoverageAna ADI
This document discusses how members of Congress use their official websites to attract traditional media coverage. It finds that about three-quarters of members explicitly employ their websites for this purpose. Websites provide features to make them "media friendly," including press releases, photos from events, summaries of issues, and contact information for journalists. While the internet allows direct communication, members still seek traditional media coverage for its legitimacy and to reach audiences outside their districts. Journalists also use congressional websites as a research tool to supplement their reporting.
The document discusses how Barack Obama successfully leveraged social media in his 2008 presidential campaign. It describes how his campaign used platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter to share its message, organize supporters, fundraise, and ultimately engage more voters than previous campaigns. The use of new media helped Obama connect directly with constituents, lower costs, and empower grassroots supporters to take ownership over the campaign. This level of online participation and continual engagement after the election represented a significant change from previous top-down campaign models.
New ways of measuring Social Media ROI - by Heather HoldridgeBottom Line Ideas
Interesting article written by Heather Holdridge for www.frogloop/care2blog.
New ways of tracking social media ROI using some old school thinking which might just be enough to convince older school management types to buy-in to investing in social media.
