Riley County approves contract for company to archive social media communication

Riley County commissioners on Monday approved a contract with Archive Social to keep records of the government’s social media interactions. Archive Social, a company based in Durham, North Carolina, will have access to the county government’s social media platforms, including Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, to archive communication between the public and the government. The company will archive the communication for public record and archival purposes or if a legal matter arises. The annual cost of $2,988 will be prorated for 2021. Without this service, officials said Riley County might not have access to all conversations with the public through social media.
