Just as the global economy increasingly is influenced by rising powers in the East, so too is the global news media. Today, Western journalism is in decline. With fewer foreign correspondents, international bureaus and stringer networks from US and other Western news organizations around the world, the non-Western, often state-run media outlets from countries like China and Russia are filling in the gaps, growing rapidly and broadly. What are the implications of this shift in sourcing our international news? According to Markos Kounalakis they are far reaching and impact not just the balance and accuracy of international reporting. Journalists and media organizations influence not only public opinion, but they also serve as informal diplomats, gathering intelligence, guiding political elites and shaping policy agendas. Kounalakis will discuss the current state of global media and the critical role that journalism plays in foreign affairs.
Markos Kounalakis, visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and a senior fellow at the Center for Media, Data and Society at Central European University in Budapest, will join us to discuss his recent publication "Spin Wars and Spy Games: Global Media and Intelligence Gathering."
