Example: follow policies and procedures for using digital media

Corey works for a community service organisation that uses digital media as an informational tool to enhance care provision. Corey’s workplace has communication policies and procedures that regulate the use of digital media within the organisation.

Corey uses a social media platform and is connected to a few work colleagues though the network. The network shares information and pictures that people upload for others to see.

This morning Corey noticed that a colleague named Jezebel had uploaded an inappropriate photo of herself in the workplace with a comment that read, ‘Is this what hell looks like? Because it sure feels like it’.

Corey knows that his workplace strictly forbids workplace images and references on personal social media networks. Corey reported the incident to his supervisor who immediately contacted Jezebel, requested that she remove the inappropriate content from her account and issued her with a warning for breaching the workplace communication policy regarding digital media.
