Before producing the Public Affairs Media Analysis, you must understand the situation, mission and where you are in relation to the planning process. The PA office must articulate and synchronize PA planning within the military decision-making process. Having a holistic understanding of the information environment is critical to analyzing media coverage and measuring the effectiveness of the military and PA actions.
