The Command Information section provides news and information to members of the Fort Meade community by producing an array of products for our internal and external audiences.
Digital Meade is the cornerstone for maintaining, coordinating and synchronizing garrison communications across its many public affairs platforms. Put in place in July 2020, Digital Meade now operates as the public affairs center in making sure the speed and accuracy of useful information to the community utilizes all available communications technologies and platforms.
Although Garrison Public Affairs no longer publishes a weekly newspaper, Digital Meade maintains a news and information section, updated on a weekly basis with similar content previously published in the installation newspaper. But, that same content is repurposed automatically and published in other garrison communications platforms to reach other primary and interested parts of the Fort Meade community.
Digital News and Information
This part of Digital Meade contains important information for our installation community and spotlights the activities of Fort Meade's service members, families, and employees. The site includes information with appropriate graphics and photos in providing the community near-term information on events, activities and people. It is updated weekly.
Meade TV
MeadeTV's "Meade Week" is a bi-weekly program that highlights major installation events, service member achievement, and quality of life stories. Viewers can access archived copies of the program on both the Fort Meade Facebook channel, www.facebook.com/FtMeade and our Youtube channel at www.youtube.com/FortMeadeMD . While the primary audience are those who live and work on Fort Meade, the larger regional community with interest in Fort Meade is served not only by our internet platforms, but local cable access in the city of Laurel, Howard County Community College, and Anne Arundel, Carroll, and Prince Georges Counties. Video submissions from the more than 119 units and organizations on Fort Meade are always welcome. Contact email: meadetv1@gmail.com. You can view the latest episode here.
