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.

OCT 21, 2005
By Shawn Powers
The rapid diffusion of decentralized communications technologies is becoming a critical component in the operation and organization of terrorist networks. While security-based concerns regarding the use of the Internet for cyber-terrorism (disruption of critical networks, etc) have somewhat subsided, there is growing recognition that both the Internet’s mass media function and its decentralized infrastructure play a crucial role in modern terrorist organizations.

This is part two of a report that surveys media coverage in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina that explores the media’s reactions and international impressions of American politics and culture.
