The Government on Twitter: alternative methods of communication

In order to establish a presence among new media and to continue rendering its communication more open and modern, the Government decided to set up a profile on the social networking site, Twitter.

The creation of this account was preceded by an institutional communication campaign launched in 2010 and is part of the development of new digital governance methods.

Consequently, Twitter is part of the effort towards the Government’s communication issues and the promotion of its work.

Twitter is also part of the Government’s willingness to “prove” what real life is like in the Principality of Monaco.

Twitter is integrated with other digital systems such as: the website, MC Channel.

The Government’s Twitter account can be reached at the following address: www.twitter.com/gvtMonaco .
