Council discusses sharing Tap Into articles on city social media
Summary
Councilmembers raised the recent Tap Into piece on shared services and flood-insurance discounts and asked how residents without subscriptions learn about it; city staff said the city shares such pieces via social media links.
During new business the council discussed a recent Tap Into article about shared services and flood-insurance discounts affecting Long Branch and whether the city should make such coverage more accessible for residents who do not subscribe to Tap Into.
A councilmember named Anita suggested the item might warrant a wider city distribution. City staff replied that the city already copies and pastes links to locally relevant Tap Into articles onto the city’s social media platforms so residents can see headlines and click through when pieces are of interest. Councilmembers suggested including local coverage in the mayor’s report and exploring additional ways to publicize important coverage for residents who do not use social media or pay for subscriptions.
No formal action or vote was taken; the discussion ended with staff and council agreeing to continue using social platforms to share positive local articles and to consider additional outreach channels.
