Communication Ethics in Local Public Administration in the Age of Facebook

Summary/Abstract: The article aims to discuss communication and public relations in local public administration in the context of widespread use of new information channels. In the face of this challenge, established communication models in public relations can take on new faces and serve different interests. Becoming an official communication channel in many local administrations, Facebook brings with it a number of advantages, but also disadvantages.

In this regard, we have identified a sum of principles and values that could underpin a code of ethics in the field.
