Presentation of OurAuckland digital, council's news and online website

 

File No.: CP2015/25377

 

  

Purpose

1.       To receive the presentation on the recently launched OurAuckland digital news and events website.

Executive Summary

2.       On 1 October 2015 Auckland Council’s Communication and Engagement team launched an Our Auckland news and events website that is mobile-friendly and integrated with the council’s social media channels.

3.       This allows the council to extend readership of Auckland news and events among Aucklanders who like to access news on the move or follow us via social channels. It will also allow us to publish content in real time – rather than being constrained by the long lead in for the monthly OurAuckland print publication which is now an A4 document to improve accessibility.

4.       In terms of content development for the new digital platform, more stories are needed to in the areas of diversity, youth, older Aucklanders and Maori.

5.       Our Auckland’s content team, led by Angela Jones, are appealing for news stories from anywhere across the council group – good news that can be shared and showcased to external audiences. Angela will present on the OurAuckland website and outline how to go about shaping stories and getting them published on the work or achievements of the panels and showing how the council is supporting Aucklanders of all walks of life.

6.       A presentation on the new OurAuckland digital news and events platform will be presented and feedback from the youth advisory panel sought.

 

Recommendation

That the Youth Advisory Panel:

a)      receive the presentation.
