There’s been a lot of discussion about social media policies lately. Media organizations are slowly taking charge and outlining how their employees should use Facebook, Twitter and the like. Here’s a sampling of social media policies adopted by news organizations:

- Washington Post (via PaidContent)

- Roanoke Times

- BBC

- Associated Press (PDF – via Wired)

For more examples, check out this database of social media policies.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on this, dear readers. Does your news organization have a social media policy?  If so, tell us about it (and if you can provide a link to it, even better!)
