By Mark Malseed, Executive Editor, and Andrew Einhorn, CEO The popularity of social media across many different demographic groups has allowed for an unprecedented level of openness and connectedness, which also provides substantial opportunities for “good government.”

7 Reasons Every Government Agency Needs a Social Media Policy

By using inexpensive and widely accessible social media platforms, government agencies can engage and communicate with a citizenry eager for conversation in ways previously impossible or impractical. However, employee use of social media is not without risk. In the absence of a formal, institutionalized policy on social media communications, there is a very real possibility of the rapid spread of misinformation, unauthorized leaks of classified or sensitive material, and damaging off-the-cuff interactions that can cause public relations nightmares. To many people, a government agency’s social media accounts are the voice of the agency now. Reason 3: Anyone Can Use (and Abuse) Social Media“We are ALL communicators now” Government Information Quarterly - The impact of polices on government social media usage: Issues, challenges, and recommendations. Abstract Government agencies are increasingly using social media to connect with those they serve.

Government Information Quarterly - The impact of polices on government social media usage: Issues, challenges, and recommendations

These connections have the potential to extend government services, solicit new ideas, and improve decision-making and problem-solving. However, interacting via social media introduces new challenges related to privacy, security, data management, accessibility, social inclusion, governance, and other information policy issues. The rapid adoption of social media by the population and government agencies has outpaced the regulatory framework related to information, although the guiding principles behind many regulations are still relevant. This paper examines the existing regulatory framework and the ways in which it applies to social media use by the U.S. federal government, highlighting opportunities and challenges agencies face in implementing them, as well as possible approaches for addressing these challenges.

Lawmakers accuse Obama prosecutors of lying about espionage probe at NASA

Attorney's denial that the Justice Department shut down a federal espionage investigation involving the illegal transfer of U.S. space defense weapons technology to foreign countries, including China, The Washington Examiner has learned. Melinda Haag, the U.S. Attorney for Northern California, also denied that she had ever requested authority to prosecute anybody as a result of the espionage investigation. But Sen. Charles Grassley, R-IA, and Representatives Lamar Smith, R-TX, and Frank Wolf, R-VA, say Haag's denials don't square with evidence they've reviewed and they wonder if Justice Department or White House officials interfered with a potentially explosive espionage investigation or if "politics played a role in the prosecutorial decisions made in this case.

" "Your statement conflicts factually with information we received from federal law enforcement," Wolf, Smith and Grassley said in letters sent today to Haag and Assistant U.S. Learning From Espionage: Ways to Use Spying in the Classroom.

Learning From Espionage: Ways to Use Spying in the Classroom

We collaborated with the Museum for this guest lesson. Go to original review » When the International Spy Museum approached us about doing a guest lesson, we were immediately intrigued, especially when they pointed out how much of the news The Times reports every day is based on intelligence gathering. Though students may initially think more James Bond than Russian microchip smugglers, the ideas below, written by the museum’s Youth Education Director, Jacqueline V. Eyl, can help them become aware of the role of espionage in our world today. –The Learning Network Espionage Everywhere: Spying in the News and Popular Culture.

Navy Linguist Faces Additional Charge of Violating Espionage Act

Hitselberger Collection is currently stored A Navy contract linguist charged with two counts of violating the Espionage Act by unlawfully retaining “national defense information” has been hit with a third charge of violating the law. James F. Hitselberger was working in Bahrain as a translator. A document collector, as Secrecy News’ Steven Aftergood describes, Hitselberger is a “peripatetic collector of rare documents.” Naval Criminal Investigative Service agents, as the criminal complaint filed against him describes, found classified documents in the Hitselberger collection marked “secret.” Similar to prior cases where individuals have been charged with improperly possessing or disclosing classified information, Hitselberger is challenging the constitutionality of the Espionage Act charges.
