Instead of stating that you can’t mention anything the network is reporting on, how about saying that individuals cannot talk about any story that they are personally involved with and then just putting frank and EASY TO UNDERSTAND rules regarding how to go about actually being a part of the social media sphere that these networks constantly use.
This was a great article on some of the behind the scenes policies for corporations in the social media space and how much more complex it is and can get for news outlets.
