Recently there’s been a flurry of concern over the new Facebook branded content policies. What does it mean for campaign bloggers? How does it affect what we share on our channel?

- Here is the article that Chloe references in the video about Facebook branded content rules. She called extra attention to points four and six.
- Finally, her shout out to “do good stuff” is a term that Joel Comm coined. Check out his TexX talk, Doing Good Stuff In the Digital Public Square.
