Public Diplomacy in the Age of Social Media

New America Foundation
Thursday, February 16, 2012
9:30 - 11:00 a.m.

How does social media change how statecraft is practiced in the 21st century? Who's participating and why? What have been some lessons learned from the pioneers who have logged on to listen and engage? Join us for this Social Media Week event as three representatives from the U.S. Department of State will share case studies and professional experiences gleaned directly from the virtual trenches. Alexander Howard, Government 2.0 Washington Correspondent for O'Reilly Media, will moderate.
