Pentagon Offers Podcasts to Military Personnel By Ken Kerschbaumer Broadcasting & Cable

Podcasts, which have been embraced by traditional and non-traditional media outlets, give the military a new way to distribute news to 2.6 million members of the U.S. Armed Forces around the world. It's unclear how many of that 2.6 million have iPods and other portable media players, but Podcasts can also be played from personal computers. The on-demand style content alleviates time-zone issues and allows military personnel throughout the world to get information on their own terms. "We're excited about leveraging technology that allows for more programming choices for our men and women in uniform," said Allison Barber, deputy assistant secretary of defense for public affairs. ================================ George Antunes, Political Science Dept University of Houston; Houston, TX 77204 Voice: 713-743-3923 Fax: 713-743-3927 antunes at uh dot edu Reply with a "Thank you" if you liked this post. _____________________________ MEDIANEWS mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
