  About PD
  Public diplomacy is at its best when scholars are in conversation with practitioners, and PD intends to host that dialogue. To that end, the Association of Public Diplomacy Scholars at the University of Southern California launched the inaugural issue of PD—the first student-run magazine focused exclusively on issues of public diplomacy—in February 2009.

  The publication addresses the challenges and issues of public diplomacy wherever it is relevant in the world. It features the voices of practitioners and scholars with divergent perspectives, but whose unified goal is the continued evolution of the field.

  PD is published biannually, in print and on the Web at www.publicdiplomacymagazine.org.

  PD is a publication of the Association of Public Diplomacy Scholars, and is edited by graduate students in the Master of Public Diplomacy program at USC.

  PD is supported by the USC Center on Public Diplomacy at the Annenberg School, USC College's School of International Relations, the Annenberg School for Communication and the USC Annenberg Press.
