About Army News

Army News is part of Army Multimedia whose role is to provide reliable and accurate internal information to Canadian soldiers and the Army chain of command using traditional and emerging technologies.

Some of Army Multimedia's main tasks are to gather news about and for soldiers, update the Army website daily and produce and distribute two bilingual Army News video episodes weekly as well as special programming as required.

In carrying out these functions under the leadership of the Director Army Public Affairs, Army Multimedia supports the Army by helping shape Army culture, informing our internal audience and connecting with Canadians.

Army Multimedia distributes its products using a variety of media, including web, video and print.

A team of military and civilian staff work in an Ottawa production centre which houses editorial and production offices, web servers, video editing suites, a television studio and a sound studio.
