Tragically, America’s principal instrument, Voice of America’s Persian News Network (PNN), has simply not been up to the task.

JacksonOn October 1, 2011, Voice of America’s (VOA) Chinese radio service will go silent, as U.S. international broadcasting abandons the airwaves and moves to the Internet. In the burgeoning age of new media, many, including Voice of America, seem to be questioning the continued relevance of shortwave radio. Yet, while the Internet offers great potential, U.S. public diplomacy cannot rest exclusively on the use of a single platform. This is particularly true where the prevalence of internet censorship is high. Just this past May, China announced the creation of its State Internet Information Office, intended to expand and enhance China’s information dissemination policy, and leading many to question whether abandoning the airwaves is truly the best way to reach America’s audiences throughout the world. On May 25, 2011, three expert panelists—the senior editor at VOE’s China branch, the CEO of Continental Electronics Corporation, and VOE’s former director—discuss the current U.S. strategy for its international broadcasting.Thu, 08 Sep 2011 16:21:00 -0400{DFA9061C-DB53-4C07-994C-1F6B09D333EE}http://www.heritage.org/sitecore/content/home/research/reports/2011/08/set-a-high-bar-for-white-house-strategic-communications-planHelle DaleIt is high time the U.S. government developed the capabilities to meet the public diplomacy challenges of the 21st century.Wed, 31 Aug 2011 11:28:00 -0400{A7C34E71-D459-4332-AE69-BA04B0D94D79}http://www.heritage.org/sitecore/content/home/research/reports/2011/08/tools-to-build-the-us-china-economic-relationshipDerek Scissors, Ph.D.The scheduled autumn visit of China’s next Communist Party General Secretary, Xi Jinping, to Washington is a good opportunity for the U.S. to re-examine its often mismanaged economic diplomacy with China. Policymakers from both parties frequently point to the seemingly exceptional importance of China to the American economy, yet have created an inadequate, almost random, set of institutions to guide bilateral economic relations. Heritage Foundation China and international economics expert Derek Scissors identifies the problems and offers ways to improve the institutional toolkit.Mon, 08 Aug 2011 11:46:00 -0400{4C01AFF6-B074-40CF-ACE7-865075F81247}http://www.heritage.org/sitecore/content/home/research/reports/2011/06/support-continued-voice-of-america-broadcasting-to-chinaHelle DaleCongress should take broadcasting into China off the chopping block.Wed, 08 Jun 2011 10:32:00 -0400{6102299B-2CD9-4672-A947-7D35DEBEAACB}http://www.heritage.org/sitecore/content/home/research/reports/2011/05/president-obama-should-advance-the-polish-american-relationshipSally McNamara, Morgan Lorraine RoachPresident Obama should advance key policy initiatives in Poland and reassure the region that it is still important to the United States.Wed, 25 May 2011 12:58:00 -0400
