JPost Column Quotes CPD Director on Turkey’s PD Efforts

CPD Director Philip Seib was quoted in a Jerusalem Post column on Turkey's plans to launch an Arabic-language satellite TV station.




"As Turkey's bid for entry into the European Union remains a point of contention, this move to play a greater role in the Arab world signals a tactical shift for Turkey's public diplomacy strategy. Prof. Philip Seib, director of the USC Center on Public Diplomacy at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, and author of New Media and the New Middle East, suggests that, "by exercising more leadership in this way, Turkey presumably enhances its stature in European eyes, helping its case for EU membership."




The column was penned by recent graduate of the Master of Public Diplomacy Program at USC, Stefanie Garden.
