In light of the events of 2011, Real-Time Diplomacy examines how diplomacy has evolved as media have gradually reduced the time available to policy makers. It analyzes the workings of real-time diplomacy and the opportunities for media-centered diplomacy programs that bypass governments and directly engage foreign citizens.

Seib explores the many ways in which news coverage shapes the design and implementation of foreign policy. By influencing the political attitudes of opinion-shaping elites and the public at large, the news media can profoundly affect the conduct of foreign policy.

From the screening process news organizations use to decide which candidates to cover, to the truth-testing of political ads, to the controversies surrounding election night projections, this work articulates crucial ethical questions and helps readers in their search for answers.

Proponents of American public diplomacy sometimes find it difficult to be taken seriously. Toward a New Public Diplomacy explains public diplomacy and makes the case for why it will be the crucial element in the much-needed reinvention of American foreign policy.

In Going Live, veteran journalist Philip Seib warns of the dangers of trivialized news and sloppy ethics in this "new news" age. Whether you love or hate the news media, this is an indispensable look at where journalism is heading-and how we can sort out what's important and accurate in the news we get in an ever-faster moving stream.

Philip Seibargues that not only do US news media have a duty to cover international events that affect the interests of the public and the government, they should also bring more attention to international conflict and suffering, to spur humanitarian action or intervention.

Veteran journalist and communications scholar Philip Seib examines the future of Anglo-American relations in the context of post-Cold War developments such as the restructuring of NATO and the growing importance of the European Union.
