Wisdom from Dr. Ilan Manor on #DigitalDiplomacy...

Last Tuesday, so proud that USC Public Diplomacy brought #DefiningCourage and new audiences to USC. David Ono performance shares story of Nisei WWII soldiers, including my grand-uncle Kaz Taniguchi's 442nd, and their #CongressionalGoldMedal in 2011. rafu.com/2024/04/bringi…

An important read regarding US Agency for Global Media

Big news from Senior Official for Public Diplomacy Liz Allen: moving on to a campaign job. Good to see the just praise for her #publicdiplomacy work in the Times peace. Hope her important emphasis on working with allies in PD survives her departure. nytimes.com/2024/08/02/us/…

Enjoying the view of enchanting Slovenia on the last day of the European Digital Diplomacy Exchange - EDDE conference. Consistently stimulating.

Thanks to Nardos BEKELE-THOMAS for a terrific meeting today. Great to hear about the African Union Development Agency and its vision for a better future for all.

My idea of #ReputationalSecurity is name checked here in this excellent piece by ⁦peter pomerantsev⁩. ⁦⁦USC Annenberg CCLP⁩ ⁦USC Public Diplomacy⁩ theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Glad to see my ideas in circulation…

Today I was notified that I’m being fired from my job as a press freedom reporter at Voice of America.

A sad day for Voice of America. We wouldn’t sit by if the marines or the carriers were treated this way. Imagine #WorldPressFreedomDay with the U.S. government treating its own this way.

The end of Voice of America is a blow to freedom of the press…

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 artsjournal.com/uq/2025/05/ame…

#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/politics-…

Kirsti Melville invited Patsy Widakuswara, Dr Nicholas J. Cull 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. abc.net.au/listen/program…

Proud to be part of this excellent podcast on the crisis Voice of America. I do the history bit… Thanks Kirsti Melville for the invite…

The silencing of VOA is “un-American and outrageous”, says Nicolas Cull, historian, pioneer scholar and educator in the field of public diplomacy. He also warns about the dangers posed by VOA not communicating American ideals of press freedom around the world. #SaveVOA Nicholas J. Cull

Speaking out to savevoa — so shocked that this is happening to a vital element of US public diplomacy.

Glad the word is getting out —thanks for the repost jessicajerreat
