AETC joins Air Force public Web format Published Nov. 3, 2006 RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AETCNS) -- The content of a Web site can maneuver a person's perception of the good or bad about a product, company or idea. The Air Force has been using the Internet for more than a decade to communicate its image to the general public, and by the end of January 2007 all Air Education and Training Command bases will standardize Web delivery of news and information. Previously, individual units have been able to develop and publish information on Air Force public Web sites. Often the information was unapproved or not following Air Force instructions of being of value to the general public. In November 2003, the Secretary of the Air Force assigned responsibility of managing the content on all Air Force public Web sites to the Air Force News Agency. "By centralizing all Web sites the Air Force is better able to control security," said Leslie Benito, Air Force News. "The Air Force Public Information Management System eliminates the need for Web-developing expertise, allowing content providers to focus on content, security and policy review." The development of the Air Force public Web program will steadily control and regulate how the Air Force will publish their Web content for the general public and conform to the same standard look and feel without the worry of inappropriate content being displayed. AETC began the migration last month with the command's Web site. Several AETC bases are scheduled to go live today with the remaining bases finishing up early next year.
