The College of the North Atlantic is joining a growing social media exodus – and is discontinuing it’s X social media presence and adding BlueSky to its social media accounts.
CNA says BlueSky provides a platform that allows the organization to connect with students, staff, media and the community at large in a way that it says supports open, positive communication.
Associate Vice President of Public Affairs with CNA, Heidi Staeben-Simmons says X, formerly known as Twitter, is a place they no longer feel aligns with their values.
“For us it’s really about getting out good information on platforms where we can have positive engagement and positive discussion. We’re really not interested in being on platforms that create misinformation or false information,” says Staeben-Simmons. “That was the impetus for the change.”
The increasingly tense political situation involving Donald Trump in the United States and Elon Musk who owns X, is not lost on them either says Staeben-Simmons.
