Reader Response: Donna Oglesby

Evidently, my webhost and word press account are causing me some reader relation problems. Therefore, I’ve reposted a comment that would have been available on the last post in a perfect world where all websites run smoothly. Donna Oglesby, a veteran Foreign Service Officer (USIA) and Diplomat in Residence at Eckerd College, had this to say about “Public Diplomacy Debate Reflects Bigger IR Questions“:


  • Amb. Casamitjana: I sign off on prearranged tweets & post myself. I don't share personal info. Convey fopo of Mex. Govt.
  • How can groups like Sister Cities benefit from social media? Get the message out!
  • : must think broadly about interlocutors for diplomacy. Social media can help connect/identify.
  • Mex amb. Casamitjana : states suffering from legitimacy crisis for public policy. Sounds like Castells on network power.
  • : social media punishes moderation. Rewards extremist politics. Don't know where this is going.
