Approved site/pages

Responding to messages from the public is the editor’s responsibility. Only the MDNG PAO will respond to threats, hate speech. Stay in your lane and talk on what you know, your expertise. Messages on upper echelon issues should be referred to the MDNG PAO. The MDNG PAO will setup a language filter that automatically hides comments containing certain words. Sites are family friendly and editors may hide, comments that violate the terms of the page listed in the about section. The terms of the page will be provided/setup by the MDNG PAO and customized to your organization.
To prevent the site from being unmanaged or defunct unit sites will allow admin access to the MDNG PAO. The PAO may post content on the page but will not maintain the site on the unit or section's behalf. Each site must be a component of official public affairs activities and clearly identifiable through use of official logos, a standardized user statement, etc.
The unit or section should assign a new person to manage the site(s) and request the old person be removed.
The minimum is a graphic (photos and/or video) with a basic caption. The caption to go with a photo or video should explain the WHO/WHAT/WHEN/WHERE/(WHY/HOW) of the event. The use of hashtags and tagging (using @) to tag another page or the installation, city, and or county of the event is encouraged
Example: (WHO) #CitizenSoldiers of A Co., 1st Bn., 175th Inf. Regt., (WHAT) prepare for night land navigation (WHEN) on June 3, 2017, during our 2017 annual training (WHERE)at @US Army Fort Benning.
This post contains all the needed information for the MDNG PAO to clean up and share on the MDNG page for more visibility. The MDNG PAO will not share posts that have errors in it, no matter how good it is. With the MDNG PAO as an admin, we can tweak it to make it usable for a wider audience.
