Do such engagements conflict with each other? What are the special contributions to America’s public diplomacy by such public figures?

question 3: the class will talk about McPhail, Chapter 5 “Web-based and Digital Media”, in which the author discusses the history and the current role of the Internet in global communication.

Where does the U.S. lead in the global development of new media technologies and continue to create a global digital divide? Where is the U.S. lagging behind?
