The basic instruments of public diplomacy are hardly new. The United States, for example, has conducted educational and cultural exchange programs for almost sixty years. Cultural diplomacy is usually an exercise in deferred gratification, since such exchange programs typically don’t offer immediate or obvious payoffs. Instead, programs such as the Fulbright educational exchanges represent a long-term strategic investment in establishing mutual trust and understanding. Similarly, the US information programs overseas have a long pedigree: the daily Washington File (formerly the Wireless File) began operation in the State Department in 1935 after an ambassador complained that the slow distribution of official information was “about as useful as a Roman ruin in a fast-changing world”.

 

The flow of information since has neither slowed nor stopped changing. In recent months, the biggest internal change, of course, has been integration. Public diplomacy programs, once administered by the US Information Agency, are now integrated into the Department of State under the Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs. Moreover, public diplomacy officers serve in each of the Department’s regional and functional bureaus and in public affairs sections of the embassy.
