Anniston launches social media sites

The city of Anniston wants you to "like" it.  Aziza Jackson, the city's public information officer announced this week the city has set up Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts, to keep residents connected. Jackson said the social media presence will hopefully drive traffic to the city's website, which is currently being updated.  Jackson said the social media presence is grouped together under the theme "Hello, Anniston,". It will allow residents to submit their own images that could be posted to the accounts.  Jackson said the idea for the "Hello, Anniston" theme came by asking the question - what does Anniston say about itself?  What are the pages looking for? Jackson said  Perhaps a selfie at one of Anniston's restaurants or biking trails, "Or a picture of a sunset. It gives residents a way to show how they spend their time in Anniston".
