Welcome to Public Social I Love You
A social media newsletter for the people who write our PSAs.
Hi! I am Catie Miller, a civil servant based in Washington, DC. I have worked in the public sector for fifteen years. One of my recent projects has been to create and coordinate government-wide campaigns for the federal government.
Social Media = Policy
With social and digital media now often being the first touchpoint people have with government and public entities, our online presence matters. It most certainly influences the people’s perception of and trust in government - which makes our work even more critical.
It may be radical, but I believe digital and social copy shapes our policy and thus our lives.
Who is Public Social I Love You for?
This is the newsletter I wish I had when I started in government communications. I and many others who manage social and digital platforms for gov do so with little formal training and mentorship. This is a place to connect, compare notes, and hear directly from the people doing the work. In other words, this newsletter is for the people who press post.
