Pentagon Spokesman: Public Affairs Must Change With Times

article quotes:

?Public affairs is an absolutely critical component of our military and our department,? he said. ?We operate in a world so tightly connected that every world event, big or small, can be felt in real time.?

"Little said new approaches should include engaging more with nontraditional journalists such as bloggers and tweeters, who sometimes break news but also may report gossip and rumor."

(The money quote...) ?When bad things happen, the American people should hear it from us, not as a scoop on the Drudge Report,? he said."
