Perhaps it's useful for the discussion if we focus first on the concrete example of the current release: https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Press_releases/First-ever_Wikipedia_Mon...

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!
