Everyone is a newspaper
We've all heard of the cases where an employee has been sacked due to the content of their blog. The Electronic Frontier Foundation has posted some valuable comments on how to blog safely. Regardless of how careful you are, though, in your own postings, it's only a matter of time before someone is sacked due to the content of someone else's blog.
What happens when the teenage daughter of a regional manager idlely blogs that her mom's upset because a major contract is about to fall apart due to the actions of a VP? Or when the brother of a politician talks about the crazy weekend they had a few years back in Tijuana? Or when the courier blogs about an argument he overheard while doing a pickup, and in doing so discloses a material change regarding a public company?
Everyone is a newspaper. Everyone is a radio station. We are all the media.
Is your company ready for that? Are you?
