Abstract
The conduct of diplomacy in the West has changed dramatically over the last few decades. During the Cold War, diplomats negotiated largely in secret and if their strategic goals and objectives were shared with the public at all, they were simply announced by leaders or their representatives. Media outlets reported on these diplomatic discussions and foreign policy controversies in stories that were aligned with the national, political, and cultural values of their home country, and they provided largely sympathetic narratives that supported, rather than questioned, their country’s diplomatic initiatives.
