Diplomatic Blogging

The New America Foundation hosted a webcast for new and old media in Washington. The brickbats between new bloggers and "old" media (George Stephanopoulos of ABC) were a bit tougher than the foreign policy debate. But the depth and range of think tank expertise and commentary on foreign policy was remarkable.

The new media brings speed and dialogue. It does not replace traditional diplomacy. But we are only in the foothills of exploring its power.

Following your site I keep wondering why are the FCO bloogers so male dominated? Is this the image the FCO wants to present in the diplomatic blooging world? My own Foreign Office is not yet into blogging. Ute König, German female diplomat
