- Army Cultural Change and Effective Media Relations (local copy), by Baggio, US Army War College, March 2006
- This paper focuses on the Army’s need to be more successful in communicating their side of the story to American and international publics, and posits that Army culture and climate must continue to change in the direction that encourages a more open relationship with the media. To support this position, this paper articulates the strategic leadership role of public affairs professionals and their responsibility to the commander and staff. Because we can learn from the past, it then examines media embedding from a historical context from the Mexican War to the recent “ad hoc” media embedding experience during Operation Iraqi Freedom. It then examines the effectiveness of the current embedding policy, to include the media’s issues and changes that should be made in the future to affect Army climate and culture. This paper concludes by discussing current Army cultural norms with respect to the media and proposes five recommendations the Army must consider to fully embrace a climate and encourage a culture of true media engagement.
