Following up on the Renee diResta piece, the DARPA program mentioned is Social Media in Strategic Communication. The manager of that program was Rand Waltzman, who currently works at the RAND Corporation. I think he makes for a much, much better source of information about the program and the role of propaganda management in government and the military.

A short summary of the program he wrote is here.
He uses the term cognitive security, and wrote a proposal for DoD funding of a center for it here.
He gave testimony to Congress on both the program and the policy proposal, found here.
