Facebook Insights 101: Graphs, colors, numbers… OH MY! by LT Shawn Eklund
Confused by your Insights? Have a hard time understanding what the numbers really mean? Wish the graph colors were Navy blue and gold? Don’t fret, Shipmate! This will help weed through the data to FIND the METRICS THAT MAT-TER…and then USE THEM TO INCREASE GROWTH! Nothing we can do about the graph colors, but know that we’re with you.
First, let’s talk about how to get to Insights. Insights is Facebook’s fancy way of saying “analytics” and is above your timeline photo, mid page. Click on “See All” to navigate to a page dedicated to Insights and prepare to be dazzled.
Dazzled yet? Probably not, but we will get you there. We’ll go over the basic, big rocks, but you will need to do some further digging to create a content strategy that makes sense for your fans and brings you new ones!
Within Insights, the first thing you see is “Total Likes,” “Friends of Fans,” “People Talking About This” and “Weekly Total Reach.” Facebook tracks these and the percentage they have increased or decreased for a set number of days (usually 5-7). So, by viewing this you can quickly learn how the content you’re posting NOW compares to content you posted in the immediate past.
The main graph deals with the number of posts you make each day (purple), the number of “people talking about this” (green), and your reach (blue). These are the MAIN factors used to evaluate overall effectiveness of your posts. You can quickly look at this graph and see, in reference to past posts, how well your con-tent is being received. Ideally, you’d like to see the green and blue climb. Spikes (up or down) indicate shifts in your fans appetite, or your posts.
Which brings me to the next BIG THING with Insights – each post is broken down (below the graph), enabling you to see what type of content appeals to your fans the most - and that’s where the strategy part comes into play. Building a successful fan page is more than just posting content; it’s understanding your fan’s appetite and designing a meal that satisfies their palette. Once you know the type of content that works best you can begin a content schedule. Keep in mind the most successful posts reach and make it to your fans newsfeed (which you can read more about on http://usnavymedia.tumblr.com - part 2, in a series of posts on the blog).
To totally understand your fans, you need to do some digging and consistently monitor Insights. There are tabs at the top that further breakdown your fans demo-graphics and content trends. Also, select the little blue question marks next to each team to find out more.
Additionally, check out this blog for more information and don’t forget about Facebook’s Help resources.
DIRECTOR’SCORNER“If we view the job as telling the Navy’s story we are only doing half the work we are supposed to be doing. It’s a nice tag line, but frankly folks it is not enough to tell your story, you have to explain it.” (RDML John Kirby, All Hands call, August 13, 2012).
In October we are asking the Navy team to take a mo-ment and think about where they fit into the first of CNO’s tenets, Warfighting. A Team PA will provide the details on this initiative.
During #Warfighting month, I ask that you start the cre-ative planning to produce content that helps to “explain” what your community and or organization contribute to the Navy’s Warfighting principle. Through photos, video, multimedia, and graphic art, it is time to challenge our-selves to look for new ways to create content that commu-nicates our mission to as wide an audience as possible.
Consider these recently produced examples:
• The forward CIWS mount aboard USS Bataan youtu.be/g9yQnpGbw5E, by Jonathan Snyder
• SAR Swimmer aboard USS Enterprise youtu.be/HbJmqW9vnhc, by MC2 Brooks B. Patton, Jr.
• SECDEFs Culinary Specialist youtu.be/Moq7PJs3NdM, by MC1 Brett Cote
All three are great pieces produced by Navy communica-tors who took the initiative to create content in compel-ling and interesting ways.
The Navy is continuously changing; consequently, Navy PA needs a continuous diet of visual content to tell its story in-ternally and externally. Video and multimedia productions serve a diverse audience on traditional web sites, social media, and broadcast outlets. Print stories provide a news source with important context on events. Still imagery captures and shares the thousands of individual moments that happen every day in the Navy. All of this content helps form the fabric that ultimately communicates our mission to a globally connected audience. That is your Warfighting contribution to the combatant commander.
An old mentor of mine always asked “What have you done for the Navy today.” I ask you to produce content that is relevant to the Navy’s mission. What our Sailors, civilians, and family members do, matters! The content you produce with limited resources should matter too.

GOTB-ROLL? by LCDR Charles Abell, Operations Officer, US Navy Media Content Services
Exporting to the Finish Line…why your last step mattersRecently, an MCC who is deployed on an aircraft carrier
asked, “What kind of videos are you looking for, and how should we format for export?” This concerns me because I had hoped he’d be asking those questions before arriving on sta-tion half-way around the world.
Video content for daily consumption doesn’t have to be complicated. Conversely, posting your videos to your command YouTube page doesn’t fully complete telling the Navy story! While posting your video to YouTube seems relatively easy, it doesn’t meet many stan-dards needed to further purpose the content you worked so hard to capture and create.
Video exporting has to be approached by sustaining the same basic principles you use to post still images: they should be virtually untouched, should include all of the information needed downstream to tell the story in text, and be in a format which is widely used, recognizable, and best represents the original capture as much as bandwidth allows.
FORMAT: While there is much discussion that video needs to be able to be delivered to the lowest common denominator, that doesn’t mean that it needs to be captured in the lowest quality possible. 16:9 aspect ratio is the current norm. It can be easily composed to support Standard Definition (SD) yet is readily avail-able to High Definition (HD) consumers. I say send it using a CODEC like H.264, 1920x1080. However, there are options. Some common resolutions include:
For 16:9 video; 853 x 480 SD, 960x720 HD, 1024 x 576 HD, 1280 x 720 HD, 1920 x 1080 HD
For 16:9 video. Pay special attention to exporting wide format video for transmission. Video shot in 16:9 and then squeezed into a 4:3 aspect ratio looks distorted. All videographers should export in the video’s native aspect ratio.
CODEC: The U.S. Navy uses many different brands and versions of video editing software. It is not possible to give a step by step guide/SOP for exporting video for each one. Instead we provide a general guide of common settings. You will need to know your editing plat-form to apply these export settings:
WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 9 ADVANCED - .WMV
VIDEO: “Quality” encoding with 1 Pass VBR with Quality set to 85 or 90.
AUDIO: Higher quality audio set to VBR at 90
QUICKTIME H.264 - .MOV
VIDEO: Compression H.264 - Quality: HIGH - Key Frame Rate: 24 - Frame Reordering: Yes - Encoding Mode: Multi-pass - Dimensions: 853x480 for SD or 1920x1080 for HD
AUDIO: Format: AAC - Sample Rate 48 kHz – Stereo - Bit Rate 288 kbps
AVI is a legacy file format and should be phased out as technology allows.
Whenever possible, shoot HD. Down-convert for file transmission (but do not squeeze) for slow internet connections. If your bandwidth is fast enough, transmit HD files. HDV down-converted to DVCAM video produces better quality than shooting in DVCAM as a native format. This also future-proofs the video you shoot today for use in the future.
MEDIA: Make sure you are using the correct media for your camera. Your supply PO may try to save you money, but could cost you video quality if you don’t purchase the right media. Check with the manu-facturer to make sure it’s the right type. Many camera manufacturers require specific read/write speeds to handle the data being written by the cameras.
Post event/deployment tapes should be sent to Navy Media Content Services (CHINFO OI-2) with a DD 2537 run sheet attached. This ensures a high quality tape version goes to the historical record of the U.S. Navy at DIMOC (DVIC) and the National Archives. www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/infomgt/forms/eforms/dd2537.pdf - contact [email protected] for shipping address. Tapes should NOT be shipped direct to CHINFO as Pentagon force protection procedures can melt plastic tape housings and CD/DVD jewel cases, rendering the media unusable.
CONTENT INFORMATION: While producing your content, it is important to remember one very important point; someone will be processing your content that has no idea what they are looking at. That’s why the labeling is so critical.
A good slate includes deep captions, like a still photo. This means: VIRIN, dateline, answer 5W’s and photographer’s name and contact information. Bars and Tone are not necessary and will save file size for transmitting. And finally, if this is RELEASED you must have by whom.
QUESTIONS: Of course you have them, that’s why you can always ask us:
www.imagery.navy.mil | [email protected] | (703) 614-9154
Finally, transmitting your imagery to Navy Media Content Services is another article, but you have multiple methods because one solution does not fit all. Be it DVIDS, DIMOC, FFT, FTP, HTTP interface, e-mail, etc. we have plenty of methods for you to transmit your imagery to NMCS in a timely manner. All you have to do is contact us via one of the methods listed above.

OUTTAKES by Oscar Sosa
How do I get a photo attached to a story I’m submitting in CMS?
That is a very common question we get, so I want to provide a short how-to.
The easiest way to ensure photos attach to your stories on Navy.mil is to enter the image VIRINs into the Content Management System (CMS) when you submit your story.
1. After editing and formatting your story in the story submission window in the CMS, select the “Add Story” link at the bottom left of the page. A new window will appear with your formatted story and several new options in a pane on the left of the story.
2. Select the “Submit Photos: Enter/Edit VIRINs” link. It has a red header and is on the left of the submission window.
3. This will open a smaller window over the story formatting window with five places for VIRINs. You can set the CMS to automatically link up to five images to each story. You can send more images for the gallery, but only the VIRINs in the “Submit Photos” boxes will link with the story. When you have entered the VIRINs you want associated with the story, select the “Save VIRINs” button at the bottom of the “Add/Edit VIRINs” window.
4. Click the “Save Changes” button on the bottom left of the page and the image files will be associated with the story when the images are posted.
Problems to avoid:
• Make sure you are using a proper VIRIN. A VIRIN consists of 15 data elements in four fields, separated by three hyphens, for a total of 18 characters organized in the alphanumeric format: YYMMDD-N-XX000-000.
• Do not use the old-style VIRIN format. If you do not have a new VIRIN, with a Vision ID instead of last four of your SSN, please go to Defense Imagery.mil and create one: defenseimagery.mil/learning/howto/virin.html
• The CMS will not accept the old format and we will change the image name to a generic VIRIN in order to upload. The CMS also requires the last field in the VIRIN to contain three numbers. If we have to change either of these, that image will not be automatically linked with the story and you will not be able to find the image on Navy.mil with a VIRIN search.
AMERICA’S NAVY: A GLOBAL FORCE FOR GOOD703.614.9154 5
• Please make sure you are using three character file extensions and that they’re lowercase. The latest versions of Photoshop give the option to save the files as “.jpg” or “.jpeg” and you can set this up in the preferences as your default. The CMS will only accept file extensions ending in “.jpg” - yes, it sounds crazy and can be a pain, but that’s the way it works. We have to correct all
“.jpeg” extensions to “.jpg” one at a time and convert uppercase extensions to lowercase.
• It is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL that you provide contact information for the releasing authority. If you can embed the captions, please also embed the contact information. That way it will stay with the image.
• We do not want images cropped at all! We want the original camera file. The 5x7 at 300 dpi is synonymous with film and slides.Please send us full-frame images at 300 ppi. If you are having bandwidth issues you can compress the file to a 10, but do not compress lower than 8.
To compress an image:
When you save an image in Photoshop a small box appears asking you at what quality you want to save the file. The default is “12.” That will give you a pretty beefy file, usually around six to eight megabytes for a full-frame, high resolution image. If, however, you choose a quality of
“10” or “8” you can reduce the file size by up to 80 percent with no perceivable quality loss. In other words, a six megabyte file is now two megabytes or less. That simple step can save you a lot of transmission time.
… and that’s it. As always, don’t hesitate to contact us if you have questions or problems. I want to help you tell the Navy story, but I need to know if there’s a problem hindering you in submitting material.

INSIDERPerspective By MC2 Foster Bamford and MC2 Trevor Welsh
U Live?
USS Makin Island had just completed its maiden voyage
and upon its return we had a rare opportunity to try some
emerging technology and provide the Navy with real-time
coverage on the scene. There have been a couple of live streams
in the past, but the camera was usually in a fixed location and
just captured the ship pulling in. This time we had the chance
to flex our field broadcast journalist muscles and provide the
audience with a live, on-air personality and interviews with family
members and crew who were waiting on the pier.
After receiving the LiveU kit in the mail,
our first objective was to smoke-check
the gear and make sure everything was
operational. With help from some folks
at CHINFO we quickly learned how to
operate the equipment; it was surpris-
ingly simple. Broadcasting with it is as
easy as plugging a firewire cable from the
backpack to an HDV Camcorder, turning
on both the backpack and camera and
logging on with the on board computer.
You can then use the camera normally;
it’s not necessary to press the record but-
ton. As soon as you are connected and
can see a feed on the LiveU screen, you
are on the air, and will be until either you
turn the camera off or disconnect from
the live feed with the pack. We tested it
in-house a day or two before the broad-
cast and made sure the audio and video
were transmitting properly and that we
were comfortable doing the set up. When
AMERICA’S NAVY: A GLOBAL FORCE FOR GOOD703.614.9154 7
we tested it, we tested live, which meant
someone out there in Internetland got a
chance to see Bamford at a Dutch-angle
repeatedly asking someone on the phone
if they could see him.
Next came the planning phase. Everyone
reading this has more than likely partici-
pated in a homecoming, and for anyone
who has covered one, you understand the
challenges that go into successfully docu-
menting them (first kiss, baby-kissing, fami-
lies and friends waiting on the pier, etc.).
Our challenge was unique in that
it had not been done before.
We didn’t have the luxury of
collecting two hours of b-roll
for a two-minute AHU; we had
to know exactly what we wanted
to shoot before we arrived and we had
no second chances. So we sat down and
talked about it, we got input from CHINFO
about what type of coverage they wanted
and we came up with a plan that, in retro-
spect, worked surprisingly well.
Early in the planning phase we decided
that a third person on scene was abso-
lutely necessary. With Bamford carrying
a live camera and backpack, and Welsh
in front of the camera for around 90
percent of the broadcast, we needed a
runner. MC3 John Grandin filled that role
quite well. His job was to run around, while
Welsh was talking, and find and prepare
interview subjects so they knew they were
live and had an idea of what questions
he would ask. This saved us from dead-air
and awkward moments during interviews.
It was absolutely the most important thing
we did to make the entire operation run
smoothly. Honestly a second runner might
have even been a good idea.
Another thing that really helped with the
process was an iPhone and some earbuds.
Throughout the entire broadcast Bamford
was on the phone with folks at CHINFO
who were watching the broadcast and
monitoring the online chat that supple-
mented the livestream. This allowed them
the ability to give on-the-go feedback and
mention what the viewers were chatting
about so that Welsh could shape questions
and interviews around what they were
interested in. It also allowed CHINFOlks to
keep Bamford aware of his camera move-
ments and to adjust to how the livestream
was reacting to them. We learned that
very slow and steady is the only way to
move with this technology, even with a
full signal. The frame rate gets choppy on
occasion and any quick movements leave
the audience feeling uneasy. The thirty-
second delay means that for about half
of a minute Bamford gave a few hundred
people vertigo. Sorry about that.
We have never experienced a broadcast
done this way. Having the ability to com-
municate directly with the viewer brought
us closer to our audience and allowed us
to bring them exactly what they wanted
to see, making the broadcast a total suc-
cess. Even without mass advertising, we
peaked with 885 viewers and during the
duration of the nearly two-hour stream
2,592 unique viewers logged on to watch.
The benefits of using this technology
outweigh the costs so greatly that the
cost is barely worth mentioning. Due to
a solid plan and the user-friendly software,
we had no problem whatsoever getting
it started.
Ground-breaking. This is the only way to
describe this technology’s contribution
to bring Navy news into the present and
push it through to the future. It perfectly
supplements the Navy’s recent heavy
involvement, and success, in the social
media universe and gives us the ability
to provide more in depth coverage of a
broad range of events. While we were set-
ting up the pack on the pier, two civilian
media guys from the local NBC affiliate
came over and spoke longingly of the
future days when they too will have a
backback solution.

#Warfighting Monthby CDR Elissa Smith
WE ARE A WARFIGHTING FORCE. Do you believe that? The Warfighting First tenet seems to be one of the hardest for our Sailors to relate to but as communicators we have that challenge to undertake, using all of the tools we have at our disposal including visual products.
Therefore, we have embarked on a major communication initiative. This October the Navy will promote the month of the Navy’s birth as an opportunity for a Navywide focus on Warfighting. During the month we’re looking for imagery, video and articles that tell the story of how your command or individuals at your command support or contribute to the Navy’s larger warfighting mission. Why now? Celebrating our 237th birthday during October provides an excellent opportunity to focus the fleet on what we do and allows us to look to our past, present, and future for inspiration.
We will look to connect each unit’s individual mission to the Navy’s larger mission of warfighting; underscore the fact that warfighting is our primary mission with our active duty and reserve component Sailors and Navy civilians; develop a better understanding across the fleet of Navy personnel, missions and capabilities beyond the individual units and commands; and reemphasize the importance of our history and heritage and how they influenced the Navy. (Remember, think about the visual products.)
In order to help do this, we are encouraging commands to hold at least four events using the subject of warfighting to support the objectives with at least one event from the following categories:
a. Internal Education (can include any type of education including POD notes, Review of lessons learned, historical lecture, etc.)
b. Warfighting Training (Any event improving the capacity/capability of warfighters)
c. Social (Command participation at Birthday Ball, Dinning In/Out, Command BBQ, etc.)
d. Commanding Officer’s Time (Provides commanding officers the opportunity to specifically tailor events that focus on
how their units fit into the overall Navy and supports the primary mission of the Navy, warfighting.)
(Remember, think about the visual products.)
A list of suggested ideas will be provided at www.navy.mil/warfighting to give commands ideas for the various events.
Each week we’ll have a different focus:
Week 1 (Oct. 1-8, 2012) – Sailing Directions and Navigation Plan, provides the opportunity to look at how each unit supports the Navy’s tenets: Warfighting First, Operate Forward and Be Ready.
Week 2 (Oct. 9-16, 2012) – Heritage, the week of the Navy’s birthday provides the opportunity to focus on our warfighting past

Week 3 (Oct. 17-24, 2012) – Navy Strategy and Warfighting, provides the opportunity for a discussion among all units on Navy Strategy and how their unit contributes to Warfighting
Week 4 (Oct. 25-31, 2012) – CO’s Time
This approach was found to be successful in communicating a Navy priority when it was applied to promote Sexual Assault Awareness during the month of April.
SO, ABOUT THOSE VISUAL PRODUCTS…
In an effort to “amp up” our team of professionals, CHINFO will ask you to provide images and videos to support our “How are you supporting the warfighter?” campaign. The people captured in the images or videos should use three words that reflect how they are supporting the warfighter or the Navy’s warfighting effort. This is very similar to what Good Morning America does with their “Your Three Words” (youtu.be/4wkZeggGjTQ) segment.
Additionally, CHINFO will crowd source on the U.S. Navy Facebook page for images that capture the legacy of Navy service of
#Warfighting families. We’ll use these images to tell the story of our #Warfighting heritage by showing the service within some of the families (for example: grandfather served, mother served with a son who is currently a Sailor). Starting in October and as a longer term project, we’d like to find three or four of these families that have generations of service in order to tell their story on the NavyLive blog during the year. If you are aware of such a family, please contact CHINFO OI-2 at 703-614-9315.
To help you get motivated, here is the link to the video tease, that team DMA-Navy put together: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX79O6lqtdc.
Also, here are video profiles (also by DMA-Navy) of three different Sailors who talk about being warfighters:
