e-Citizenship is the act of being a good digital or electronic corporate citizen. It is based on the notion, that using new technologies to communicate is not as much a choice as an obligation. Much the same as communications in Quebec must be posted in English and French, and signage must be available in brail, digital communications have become so ingrained in our culture that Companies actually have a responsibilty to incorporate new technologies into their corporate communications planning.

With generation Z texting faster than they can assimilte auditory communications, it seems that many companies have begun to embrace various social media such as Twitter or Facebook. In addition, Corporate HR departments are pro-actively using professional networking sites to solicit experts on Linked In or Spoke. But, largely it has been viewed as a choice. Just as sustainability has become a corporate responsibility, so too has e-citizenship.
