Autonomous Mass Media and Democracy: Blogosphere as Public Sphere or as Narcissphere? with Benjamin Barber

Benjamin R. Barber spoke about his new project which uses an empirical description to establish the relationship of autonomous mass media to the state, civil society and the market. The project focuses on current battles fought over the new communication spaces and investigates those interactions, thereby contributing to a more nuanced understanding of public diplomacy.

A rich and complex history exists between the three North American neighbors of Canada, Mexico and the U.S., providing for unique public diplomacy challenges. How are bumps in these long-standing relationships handled? How do trade relations become public diplomacy challenges? What are the opportunities and lessons we can learn from them?

John Rendon joined the USC Center on Public Diplomacy for a roundtable discussion on public diplomacy, politics, and the global war on terrorism.
