Purpose
An outline of content that may be posted on Pirate Party Australia social media accounts.
Content guidelines
- Content should always be relevant to the Party and its members.
- When sharing general news articles, link them back to a relevant Party policy or campaign.
- Keep a positive spin on content. If you are posting about a negative topic, include a call to action such as a petition link or another way that people can get involved.
- Content must be SFW (safe for work).
- Regional coordinators can request their events are publicised on the main accounts.
- All press releases should be shared on social media accounts as soon as feasible.
Posting guidelines
- Consider the time of day when posting. Don't post late at night (past 10PM AEST) or early in the morning. Try to space new posts across the day.
- If others have access to the account, keep an eye on recent posts (refresh the page before posting) to make sure you don't double up on content.
- Facebook posts are truncated past 300 characters. Make sure that the key point of your post fit inside this limit.
Plagiarism
- Make it clear when you are quoting a linked article.
- When adding images to content, make sure they are appropriately licensed for free use, and add the source if necessary.
