Global health diplomacy was once a term contained to public health or humanitarian literature; however, with the media spotlight now scrutinizing all governments\u2019 decisions to contain outbreaks of COVID-19, journalists play an increasingly important public diplomacy role as \u201copinion leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we retreat to our homes to obey regulations on social distancing, people rely on messaging delivered through the media to shape their perceptions of how each country is faring and to dissect the impact of policy decisions in real-time. In a world where even diplomats are forced to work from home, other forms of traditional public diplomacy have almost entirely been replaced with mass-media messaging. Governments are scrambling to manage their public image as domestic and foreign populations consume daily press briefings, global health statistics and debates on the different public health policies adopted across the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Please click here to read the full \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscpublicdiplomacy.org\/blog\/age-covid-19-crisis-have-journalists-become-new-diplomats?utm_source=hootsuite&amp;utm_medium=&amp;utm_term=&amp;utm_content=&amp;utm_campaign=\">In the age of the covid-19 crisis, have journalists become the new diplomats?<\/a>\u201d article published at the Center on Public Diplomacy Blog written by Griffith Asia Institute&nbsp;Adjunct Fellow, Dr Bradley McConachie <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bradley McConachie describes an expanded role of journalists in the era of COVID-19 and discusses the effects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":7251,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1056,524],"tags":[1156,1093,654,1153,1154,934,1072,1155],"class_list":["post-7250","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics","category-public-diplomacy","tag-bradley-mcconachie","tag-covid19","tag-diplomacy","tag-global-health","tag-government","tag-griffith-asia-institute","tag-journalism","tag-leadership"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"Jill Moriarty","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>In the age of the COVID-19 crisis, have journalists become the new diplomats?
