NAVIGATING THE NEW COMMUNICATION LANDSCAPE:
U.S. NAVY and SOCIAL MEDIA
Over 50% of Americans are on Facebook
CNN has named Facebook as its next big competitor
Google is the #1 trafficked site on the internet, but people spend much more
time on Facebook.
SOCIAL MEDIA ALLOWS THE USER TO MANAGE INFLUX OF INFORMATION.
With the advent of social media our communication landscape has shifted.
Organizational control of communications is an illusion.

“I was reached by Navy Times to comment. I told them that if there are Sailors out there who are slipping, they are the exceptions not the rule. I also said I have full confidence that if our
Chiefs see a problem, they correct it; because that is what Chiefs do.
I'd like to go a little further than that here. This is not a fleet-wide issue. It is not a trend or an epidemic. Our Sailors, around the Navy, look as professional as they ever have and they take
great pride in all our uniforms. And make no mistake about something else: I stand behind my Chiefs.“
