Another great alumnus of #publicdiplomacy at #uscannenberg - happy 20th birthday to the MPD program.
Check out our interview with MPD alum Ted Richane, a documentary filmmaker whose recent work includes The Endless Frontier, a film examining the history and uncertain future of U.S. federal support for scientific research.

Glad to be included in this terrific anthology analyzing the #PublicDiplomacy of #SouthAfrica under Apartheid.
In a new "Meet the Author Q&A," Vedat Demir and Carola Richter of Freie Universität Berlin discuss their fascinating new book, The Public Diplomacy of Authoritarian Regimes.

Glad to see that the U.S. will be at @expo_beograd an enduring forum for #PublicDiplomacy.
Just signed the participation agreement for @expo_beograd — the next iteration of the modern World’s Fair, to be held in Belgrade next summer.
The United States and Serbia have entered a new era of bilateral relations, and expo will be a great opportunity to highlight our friendship and commercial ties.
The theme of the expo is “Play for Humanity.” American companies, inventors, athletes and artists obviously excel here — and we look forward to partnering with and showcasing them.
I was keen for commentary on HRH’s gift to POTUS from the author of the best book on diplomatic gifts @PaulBrummell. Here it is…
It follows in the tradition of another masterful #DiplomaticGift from the UK to the USA: the Resolute desk, a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford Hayes in 1880, also finding a place in the Oval Office.

VOA and its audiences deserve better that to be a political football.

Glad the word is getting out —thanks for the repost @JessicaJerreat
Speaking out to @savevoanow — so shocked that this is happening to a vital element of US public diplomacy.

Proud to be part of this excellent podcast on the crisis @VOANews. I do the history bit… Thanks @kirstimelville for the invite…
@kirstimelville invited @pwidakuswara, Dr @NickCull and Dr Kate Wright to discuss the decision to dismantle the Voice of America, as well as the implications of this decision in the U.S. and globally.

#AnnenbergQuoted: I made it into this Hollywood Reporter piece back when the tariff on non-US made film was the headline. The story was shorter-lived than my will to update X: hollywoodreporter.com/news/p…
So glad that the great music scholar Joe Horowitz and #UniversityofMichigan can conduct #culturaldiplomacy in South Africa. So sad that the State Department's version of this work is headed for a 93% budget cut
