The Social Media Hub is designed to help the DoD community use social media responsibly and effectively.
Joelle Zarcone is a public affairs specialist on the social media team in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs.
Today, the Department of Defense (DoD) launched the newly improved Social Media Hub.
Social media at DoD is not new—we have been focused on emerging media for quite a while. What is new, however, is our renewed set of expectations for social media here at DoD, and as a result, the Social Media Hub has undergone a complete facelift.
With the unveiling of the updated Social Media Hub, we hope it will exist as more than just a website advertising DoD’s latest Facebook posts or Twitter feed. Rather, our goal is to create a “hub” in every essence of the word—a place where anyone interested in learning more about social media practices amongst the services, as well helpful social media tips and tricks, could come to find everything they might need right at their fingertips.
The redesigned Social Media Hub is meant to serve as a resource, an online tool box for individuals who want to find out how to register their own page, voice social media-related questions, or just stay up to date on the latest DoD social media news.
