The X channel now has 1,905 subscriptions and 3,845 short news items (tweets). The city uses it regularly to disseminate the latest news even faster. But the information can also be viewed without subscribing.

Subscribers to the channel receive the news in a compact 280 characters. In November 2017, Twitter doubled the previously permitted number of characters from 140. According to the company, this would allow users to express themselves better and find good content more easily. However, there was also skepticism, as there were concerns that more space could tempt users to be more vague.

The X account of the city of Salzgitter was already verified in April 2015 with a white tick in a blue cloud. However, this method was deleted after the purchase by Elon Musk and extensive restructuring by the company.
Since May 5, 2023, a gray checkmark is now displayed. This means that X has officially verified the site of the city of Salzgitter and that it meets the criteria as a government organization. X uses these verifications to guarantee the authenticity of people and organizations that are in the public eye.

X is one of the largest digital networks. It is a kind of public diary on the Internet. After registering, you can create your own information profile by following the relevant organizations on Twitter. All information is then displayed in chronological order on the homepage of your own X account.

Most media and companies use the "real-time channel" to keep their users up to date.

Other digital media used by the city of Salzgitter are Facebook, YouTube and Instagram.

However, www.salzgitter.de has also been offering the option of subscribing to press releases from the city of Salzgitter via an info letter for several years. The newsletter is sent out once a week as a summary of the most important announcements - usually on Thursdays.
