Why a club might use this

People receive concise, contextualised stories in familiar channels with a reliable route to verify facts or participate outside the platform.

Use it when

  • Local social-media users, community groups, prospective volunteers and partners who encounter Rotary through shared content. Use when a coherent story arc can be supported by several cleared perspectives or project moments.

Before the club starts

  • An editorial sequence defining purpose, audience, format, factual source, call to action and expiry for every post.
  • Specific participant, image, music, footage and partner-brand permissions for the intended platforms.
  • Controlled social accounts with administrator register, multi-factor authentication, recovery and comment rules.

Controls and safeguards

  • Do not rely on auto-captions alone, post text embedded only in images or publish a video without an accessible equivalent.
  • Remove hidden metadata and protect personal information; never solicit sensitive stories or direct-message minors through member accounts.
  • HIGH - consent, account access, inaccessible media, harmful comments and regulated targeting require active publishing governance.

What to measure

  • Cleared stories published to schedule

Follow-up: Reply or route actionable responses within two business days, send contributors a performance and consent check, and retire campaign assets when their facts or permissions expire.

Before your club says yes

Does the idea fit?

Talk with the people it is meant to serve and check that the need is real.

Who can say yes?

Name the person or group that can approve the work, spending and any safety arrangements.

Are people protected?

Check privacy, consent and safety. Collect only the information you genuinely need.

Can everyone take part?

Check the language, format, place, technology and cost for barriers.

Are the facts and permissions right?

Check names, claims, images, quotations, partner references and Rotary branding.

How will we learn?

Note where things stand now, check in at 30, 60 and 90 days, and decide what to do next.
