Panel #4 – 2009 Milblog Conference
This panel is titled “The New Media Agora”. This one of the more popular panels in my opinion, which was odd considering it was the last and people were getting tired. What is the impact of the “new media” on issues concerning national security, military doctrine and concept development, training, education, and lessons learned? A discussion of the issue by those at the frontlines of the debate by Moderator, Greyhawk of Mudville Gazette; Andrew Exum of Abu Magawama, Bill Nagle of Small Wars Journal, Bill Roggio of The Long War Journal.
This is a bit long, so it may take awhile to download.

Major Bill Jakola
May 4th, 2009 at 6:51 pmI was there and enjoyed the conversation about new or social media.
Also, today, I am at the World Wide public Affairs Symposium (WWPAS)where Major General Kevin Bergner, the Army Chief of Public Affairs, addressed this issue in much length and detail. He explained that the senior leadership throughout the Army is aware of the need to operate in this battlespace and to provide a compelling and naturally credible narrative we must be present, via social media, in the conversation.
