Joshua Salmons graduated Cedarville University in Cedarville, Ohio, earning a bachelor’s degree in video media production. After graduation, he joined a college friend in Michigan where Salmons helped begin Flannel, the film company that produces the successful Nooma film series. In January 2003, Salmons enlisted as an Army print journalist. He has served at three duty stations: Fort Knox, Ky., Fort Hood, Texas, where he deployed to Iraq for a yearlong tour, and has served here at the Defense Information School since June 2007. While he started at DINFOS as a basic journalism instructor, his insistence on adopting social media as a tool for military PA led to him being selected as the first DINFOS emerging media coordinator. He works with the various new and emerging media offices of each military service to develop best practices and policies for social media use in the military.
