In an effort to distribute the work load of publishing content, WMF Communications Intern Joe Sutherland will be joining Michael Guss in posting from our official Facebook and Twitter accounts (the general Wikipedia page on Facebook and @Wikimedia and @Wikipedia on Twitter).
To avoid overlap, we've defined exactly what type of content Joe will be posting vs. what Michael already posts. For the moment, Joe will be posting the following type of content:
- Content promoting each blog post after it is published (drafting the content can still be collaborative but Joe will do the actual posting on social)
- Any content Joe surfaces and proposes
- Time sensitive updates or stories when Michael is not available
In addition, WMF Communications Intern Andrew Sherman is now publishing the translations of the Wikipedia highlights on Facebook. These are language-specific posts targeted at different areas around the world.
Michael will continue to publish the majority of social content outside of these two areas. Of course, we'll still have a collaborative process for drafting content and will continue to use the "four eyes" principle for all posts to make sure content that goes out on our social channels is typo-free and effective.
Please let me know if you have any questions, and thank you Joe and Andrew for taking on these additional responsibilities! Joe will have credentials to post beginning this week.
