The figures from the 18th century to the present as disorder and chaos with the reason how they combat each otherwhere. Whateer is hollywood mean to our culture . I think that is not used to represent the movie business until the twenties about the time this line goes up. One is the idea this is where the movie stars are which is not rosy true. Hollywood has very few studios or movie stars living there are very few movies made there but it became the word that signified the whole industry also signified it dash and 1920s there is an outcry against morality for scandals like the are buckled case murders who was the head of the Directors Guild and groups all across america would use hollywood negatively so those came together in the 50s to mean the movie business with all aspects. Host the Hollywood Sign leo braudy is the author. Host your new book realtime diplomacy teeeighteen that that cushion of time has steadily diminished. A lot of diplomats with say the best diplomacy is bad diplomacy to have a deliberate process during the. [null] of the berlin wall 1961, john kennedy could do nothing because it took so long for the News Coverage to get back to the United States fresno pressure to respond rationally but they dont have that luxury today. Things move so quickly and as we can see during the arab uprising in 2011 it becomes difficult to govern with a Foreign Policy when twitter moves faster they and the cia and that is something that policy makers have to live with. It is not helpful that the public gets information from so many sources so quickly and they expect a response and you dont always know how it is easier to get to in just an affirmation transgressions easier than policy makers to decide what they should do one diplomat said. The pressure is on us now not what to do but what to say. Host are you saying the media are creating diplomacy . In a very broad sense not just traditional media have had a steady progression from the arrival of radio to the maturation of television in the 60s then of course, cable and Satellite Television that make us more global but now it is social media. Not that they tune into cnn or the bbc to see things and demand action with their talking to each other on twitter and facebook to see videos on you to. And it isnt always accurate they say we saw this but it isnt true the public says we think it is. Do something. Do something. That can be a nightmare for policy makers. Host and creates a lot of pressure. It does. In a democracy there always domestic political issues you have to do with so if you seem to be unresponsive back of her you politically for george h. Debut bush was president 1989 the berlin wall came down, he was very restrained in his response. The Television Networks were broadcasting live from berlin and people said why are you celebrating . Why arent you going to berlin . There was sent diplomatic. They thought maybe he was gloating because that could precipitate a coup in the kremlin. So wise for policy would push back its little bit they said we should not be driven by the media whether television or twitter we should do what is best but were up against that political pressure right away. Host policy and politics and social media era is the subtitle. One of the prime examples is the arab spurring how did social be a fact that . It was important but keep in mind the most Important Media was television particularly algeciras because in the arab world in 2011 the access to the internet to social media was limited but almost everybody can watch television so the social media was used more as a mobilizing to hold land mass information. That is changing even in the middle east in the four years since then that reach of access has expanded dramatically but in 2011 i think there was a tendency because social media was so near and facebook drew so much attention it is easy to over rate that when you talk about what goes on in the middle east today keep in mind a lot of people still rely on radio they dont have smart phones to access the internet but because there are large parts of the world where they are illiterate but the radio keeps them going. Asset example is cited the error of the awakening was not isolated that as part of a continuum by communications technologies. Thats right elbow just as with the rest of the book it could be too optimistic because as we have seen and keep things did not turn out as they hoped that impetus is in 2011 in many cases has run out of steam. The best word to use people get information now social media they can talk back gore talked to each other the best example is if we go back to the cold war era in Eastern Europe or Radio Free Europe battling with radio moscow the two principal sources but that was it they could not talk about it among themselves because it was dangerous to do so and could not communicate back but think how that has changed not only so many satellite channels were basic news now we have social media where somebody can see something on facebook to send it to others with the flow of information to create these networks is phenomenal and i argue that changes the whole relationship between individual citizen and those who govern. Host so do we see policy affected by this . I think so. Without a doubt so politicians are vulnerable to why arent you doing something . We get this information but if it says the president for Prime Minister isnt doing anything why is that . Do they not understand the job . I saw this on facebook. The world doesnt work that way but there is that pressure that comes to bear from the public. Is all politics whether International War of citizens of a particular country to put political pressure on their leaders and we have seen the backandforth in the United States with the discussions in particular that the public is engaged politicians say to this or do that sometimes the diplomats who are not elected Officials Say that is not wise. Give us time. Host and responding quickly and wisely might be very different. Yes. The traditional diplomats think of dean acheson would be horrified by the notion whenever a foreign crisis arrives you have to respond immediately. I will use the example of john kennedy with the creation of the berlin wall he got the news from the state department to determine no troops were in jeopardy and it wasnt clear what the east germans were doing so he said i am going to go sailing. Was secretary of state said i will go to the baseball game. Can you imagine today . Kennedy would be on a plane back to washington he would have to make a statement to the press if he was unsure. He would have pressure from congress to do something. What do you do . He did exactly the right thing which is nothing for the time being purport of thank you could get away with that now. Host you dont think so . No. There is tremendous pressure on policy makers to do something and footdragging which is sometimes it is constructive is very difficult. But that will not change. No. It will get faster and more pervasive because more and more people will be participating. There are 7 billion people on the planet than 6 billion mobile phones by 2020 every new mobile phone will be a smart from so people will have access to the internet there is now a 40 more phones sold in india that will get around. If youre a democrat you can say this is wonderful to pull every petty into conversation but if not you can say it is awful because it will breed chaos and people who dont know very much will get the information and not knowing what to do with it then they will scream do something and we need to take our time and move slowly to negotiate without any deadlines or accomplish the National Goals and not be driven by public pressure it is that democratization of the process where some would say is good but diplomats were boca at more cautiously. Host would ensure role here as professor . Vice dean of the school for communication of journalism that i also teach i specialize in the interaction between media and policy making with emphasis on conflict
