CPD Media Monitors follow the development of critical public diplomacy stories in world media. Current Media Monitors feature regularly updated news coverage from a variety of national and international sources on topical stories. The aggregated content is later reviewed and analyzed to produce a Media Monitor Report. The Reports organize media coverage by source, region or topic and provide a synopsis of its main public diplomacy implications.CPD Media Monitors do not intend to assess or comment on the accuracy of media reporting but to provide a representative survey of how various media are framing the coverage of the issues under review.

ARAB SPRING MEDIA MONITOR: ONE YEAR OF COVERAGE
MAR 13, 2012
By Rachel Chan
For more than a year, tumultuous changes have swept across the Middle East. Citizens have poured into the streets, governments have fallen and social media is now recognized as a powerful tool for the masses. Since the early days of the so-called “Arab Spring,” the USC Center on Public Diplomacy has been aggregating related public diplomacy news coverage. This CPD Media Monitor Report serves as a review and brief analysis of the hundreds of stories from and about Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Bahrain and Syria from December 2010 through January 2011.Outlined below are the contours of each popular uprising as conveyed by the media as well as an overview of various public diplomacy efforts which have accompanied them. These have ranged from efforts in the United States to provide technical support to bypass the Libyan government’s stranglehold of the Internet to engaging with Syrian protesters via Facebook. As changes occur in the region, public diplomacy must continue toward those publics attempting to constructively reshape their governments and countries. Support of these citizens and their shared values must be demonstrated not just through words, but through actions. While this Report wraps up the CPD Arab Spring Media Monitor, it does not conclude CPD’s continued PDiN coverage of the Arab Spring and public diplomacy related stories. Only time will tell how the uprisings, conflicts and new democracies will play out in the region, but nations around the world would do well not to ignore the publics in the Middle East, even as they struggle to define and achieve consensus on their futures.
Past Media Monitor Reports
HEZBOLLAH, ISRAEL, AND THE U.S.: A CONFLICT WITH FAR-REACHING IMPLICATIONS
AUG 23, 2006
By Jade Miller
The month long military confrontation between Hezbollah and Israel and the subsequent ceasefire and aid operation has had important public diplomacy implications not only for the two warring parties but for many other state and non-state actors. The conflict has commanded the world's attention. Much more than a land dispute or run-of-the-mill cross-border antagonism, the conflict has encapsulated, highlighted, and exacerbated many other strains in the region and in world politics at large.
THE WORLD CUP: GLOBAL UNITY AND NATIONALISM
AUG 3, 2006
By Jade Miller
Soccer, arguably the world's most popular sport, has the power both to unite the people of the world in a shared passion, and to divide citizens of opposing countries in unfettered nationalist zeal. While the 2006 World Cup did not produce any political results as dramatic as the "Football War" of 1969, much has been written in the world press about both the positive and negative implications of the tournament in today's climate.
U.S. TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES IN CHINA: CONTROVERSY, LEGISLATION, & IMPLICATIONS FOR CORPORATE DIPLOMACY
JUN 28, 2006
By Jade Miller
Over the past two years, Cisco, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Google have entered the Chinese Internet market, providing online or information-related products utilized by the Chinese government to enforce Chinese information censorship laws, conduct online surveillance, and restrict access by Chinese citizens to certain internet sites. Public outcries against these IT companies first emerged in the blogosphere and among human rights organizations. Editorial and op-ed pieces in the mainstream news media soon followed, reaching critical mass in the Fall of 2005.
