Beyond Branding …
Finding a daily practice of Artistic Citizenship:• Following people you find helpful• Liking/commenting on other content in
meaningful way• Sharing content you find helpful and adding
your own commentary• Writing notes of admiration or affirmation• Reaching out and inviting others into your
network
![Page 13: Social Media 101 for Artists](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5550a1c0b4c90595208b4d0e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Overcoming This:
• The stigma of self-marketing to maximize the impact of your ideas
• Favoring an online persona instead of your authentic self
• Time management issues• Not having anything to say• Wasting time
![Page 14: Social Media 101 for Artists](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081403/5550a1c0b4c90595208b4d0e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

To Do This:
• Hype yourself AND hype others along• Engage meaningfully in a way that you want to
be engaged• Come to social media with a time limit and a
purpose• Talk about what is important to you, even if
that is a dancing cat with a wooden spoon

The New York Times’s Policy on Social Media: As we continue to expand our efforts in social media, here’s a reminder of the longstanding
Times principles that apply to our journalists and other newsroom staff members. As you know, we’ve deliberately kept our guidance broad and simple.
First, we should always treat Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms as public activities. Regardless of your privacy controls or the size of your follower list, anything you post online can easily be shared with a wider audience.
And second, you are a Times journalist, and your online behavior should be appropriate for a Times journalist. Readers will inevitably associate anything you post on social media with The Times.
Those two basic principles should be enough to guide us in most situations. Be thoughtful. Take care that nothing you say online will undercut your credibility as a journalist. Newsroom staff members should avoid editorializing or promoting political views. And we should be civil – even to critics – and avoid personal attacks and offensive remarks.
While the terrain may be new, these principles are not. Our Ethical Journalism policy says this about dealing with the public:
We treat our readers no less fairly in private than in public. Anyone who deals with readers is expected to honor that principle, knowing that ultimately the readers are our employers. Civility applies whether an exchange takes place in person, by telephone, by letter or online.
Or, as the policy suggests elsewhere: When in doubt, ask yourself if a given action might damage The Times’s reputation. If so, it’s probably a bad idea.
As with all of our ethics guidelines, these principles also apply to freelancers in connection with their work for The Times. Readers do not distinguish among bylines, and regular contributors in particular are closely associated with The Times. Editors have a responsibility to ensure that freelancers understand their obligation to protect The Times’s reputation.

Why Use Social Media in the Arts?• People who participate in the arts through electronic media are nearly three times as likely to attend live
benchmark arts events as non-media participants (59 percent versus 21 percent). In addition, they attend twice as many arts events on average (6 events versus 3 events in one year) and in a greater variety of live art forms. Media-based arts participation appears to encourage — rather than replace — live arts attendance.
• Education continues to be the best predictor of arts participation among adults – both for live attendance and through electronic media. Survey respondents with at least some college education were more likely than respondents with a grade school education to have used electronic media to participate in the arts.
• For many Americans -- primarily older Americans, lower income, and racial/ethnic minority groups -- electronic media is the only way they participate in benchmark arts events.
• The 15.4 percent of U.S. adults who use media only to engage with the arts are equally likely to be urban or rural.
• Twenty-one percent (47 million) of all U.S. adults reported using the Internet to view music, theater, or dance performances in the last 12 months. Twenty-four percent (55 million) obtained information about the arts online.
