them?
Are you friending them as a journalist or

What if you learn something? Do you report
it? Ask about it?

Can you list your political affiliation?
Do you post personal thoughts on local
issues? National issues?
Is it OK to “like” pages of organizations you
cover?
Do you list your job as a journalist? Do
people have a right to know a reporter might
see their posts?
