Propsed Re: Proposal to Promote Press Releases via Social Media - Social-media

24 Oct 2014

So there hasn't been further discussion here, and before the monument
news gets dropped entirely from our feeds, let's at least do an "in
case you didn't catch it earlier" tweet:

*T from @wikipedia, RT by @wikimedia:
The first-ever Wikipedia Monument was unveiled in Poland this week.

  Perhaps it's useful for the discussion if we focus
first on the
 concrete example of the current release:

 In general, it will differ depending on e.g. what other communications
 are going out about the same topic. In the case of Damon's
 announcement and of the ten anniversary of Commons (the two September
 press releases), there were separate blog posts, so we promoted these
 instead.

  Hello everyone,

 I am posting this question here because I want to get some feedback. I
 noticed that we don't really promote our press releases on our social media
 accounts. I am wondering what you guys think about that practice: is there
 any reason to not promote our press releases via social media?

 Thanks for reviewing!
