Like most young adults, Better Tarrant is on Social Media daily. Usually several hours a day. :-) We leverage social media the same way our audience does, to tell stories and to be transparent. Here's what drive how Better Tarrant uses Social Media:

We act like we do online like we do in person. We are not fronting online trying to be something we are not. We want create genuine connections in real life in and around Tarrant County. So when you see us following, reTweeting, or liking a social media post it is because we are real people too wanting to have real conversation about how to make Tarrant County better.

Authenticity. We don't share drama. And, we do not share things that are unverifiable.

Attribution. There is a lot of good stuff to share via Tarrant County's content creators and we believe in giving credit - tagging - to the source of the original content.

Let's talk about it. Whether in public or private we want to have smart exchanges of ideas. Get at us, we open for conversations of all types. Want a private conversation to stay private? No problem. And, if that's the case be sure to tell us so, or it might end up in our newsletter! And, with that thought in mind we do not tolerate any type of foul, hateful, or inappropriate behavior on our platform or affiliated pages.

What we value. Better Tarrant is intentional about our coverage of people of color and marginalized communities in Tarrant County while at the same time covering the community at-large. We want to have smart conversations that are aspirational, optimist, and inclusive. If you believe like we do, then we want to partner with you while expanding our reach to further these type conversations.

Will we make mistakes? Of course. If we a mistake and it is brought to our attention we will correct it as soon as possible. Sometimes that correction may come in the form of a modification of the original post and at other times the correct it may be deleted entirely.

Partner Content. We love Tarrant County businesses and organizations. And, we partner with the ones that share our value of making Tarrant County better. The partnerships we establish are created on a Value Exchange and not necessarily Money. When we share partner content in our newsletter or any affiliated platforms we deliberately label it "Partner Content".

And, here is how Better Tarrant and our Team Members go about it:

How we represent Better Tarrant. We self-identify as representatives of the Better Tarrant organization and share only authentic and truthful content. We attribute content to its grin source. An, if we make it mistake, we fix it.

We act like we do online like we do in person. We act professional when engaging on any affiliated platform, group, or in person. We are mindful not to embarrass you, us, or the Better Tarrant organization.
