Abstract

Public institutions are more and more required to use the new communication paradigm brought by the so-called web 2.0, in which a big role is played by social networks. In this paper, we analyzed the Facebook accounts of the Romanian Counties Capital Cities, plus those of the 6 Bucharest Sectors. We have also tried to gauge the importance that these cities give to e-government, using as a proxy the number of people reserved in the organizational chart for the IT department. Our findings show that all of the cities taken into account use a Facebook account, but the new communication paradigm requested by this new media actor is not yet well understood. This could be also linked to the relatively low priority given to ICTs and to e- government development.
