Great Decisions Discussion Group: Media and Foreign Policy

Wednesday, April 18, 2018
7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Radmacher Meeting Room

This group meets monthly to discuss a topic of current affairs. In April we will discuss how foreign policy is reported in the media.

Conventional journalism now competes with user-generated content. Official channels of communication can be circumvented through social media. Foreign policy is tweeted from the White House and “fake news” seems to be everywhere. Cyberwarfare, hacking, and misinformation pose security threats. How are actors using media to pursue and defend their interests in the international arena, and what are the implications for U.S. policy?
