Moderator: Will Youmans

Addressing: How has blogging/new media affected the public debate on I/P? How has blogging/new media responded to the Main Stream Media and vice versa? What results has this interaction had on the public discussion of I/P?

Panel 2 – Changing the Policy Discussion – 1pm-2:15
Participants: MJ Rosenberg, Stephen Walt
Moderator: Yousef Munayyer
 
Addressing: Does blogging/new media matter to the policy making elite? What about Congress, lobby groups? How has the increase in participants in the discussion changed policy calculations if any?
