The document provides information about the Hometown News Release program, which takes service members' information and produces news stories that are marketed to local news agencies and family members. It lists examples of achievements and events that would warrant a news release, such as promotions, awards, deployments, and assuming command. Templates are available for common news release topics. The expectations of service members are to take and submit photos of training, write articles, contact staff with ideas/questions, and not directly release information to media. In return, staff will provide resources, editing support, and media training as needed.
