CITY COUNCIL INTRODUCES FACEBOOK LIVE STREAMING
OF COMMON COUNCIL MEETINGS
In an effort to promote open and transparent government, the South
Bend Common Council and City Clerk Kareemah Fowler have partnered
with WNIT to expand Common Council meeting live streaming to Facebook.
In the past, video live streaming was available through the City of South
Bend website, WNIT, or the day following the meeting on YouTube as South
Bend Common Council Meeting. Now, residents have additional access
directly from the Common Council Facebook page! With this, the Common
Council and City Clerk Fowler not only aim to promote transparency, but
also hope to provide a space that empowers residents to stay well informed
about the “people’s business.” Moreover, people have the opportunity to
share, comment and interact in a way that only social media platforms
provide. Council President Tim Scott is hopeful about the level of
engagement this new medium will bring, especially, as the City budget
season gears up.
The Facebook live streaming is available every 2nd/4th Monday at 7:00 p.m.
in conjunction with Common Council Meeting schedule. Should you have
any questions, feel free to contact the Office of Clerk at
sbclerk@southbendin.gov or 574-235-9221.
