My latest @ForeignPolicy is a summer essay about what soft power means in a hard power world. The illustrator captured the essence with #NAFO , BTS, pandas, Jesse Owens, and Bollywood. Can #Fellas and films replace bullets and blockades?

Soft Power Is Making a Hard Return

Leaders are reaching for fellas and films as much as bullets and blockades.

The #GeorgeFloydProtests recall the #OccupyWallStreet protests in terms of detainements and arrests of journalists. Here's our statement by @spj_tweets calling on police officers and protesters to respect working reporters and allow them to do their jobs.

SPJ asks police officers to let journalists do their jobs in covering the #GeorgeFloyd protests. Take a moment and think before you take action against a journalist there to do their job. Treat us with the same respect and dignity that you would want.

It is simply unconscionable to violently assault anyone exercising their free speech rights by filming or documenting a protest. Period. Interview with @MrAndyNgo via @CNN

In a blow to #PressFreedom in the Philippines and around the world, Filipino-American journalist @mariaressa was found guilty of 'cyber libel.' This is an insult to democratic society and should be condemned at the highest political levels.

I have a bad feeling about this one. Two men posed as a Secret Service agents and showered gifts on real Secret Sevice agents, incl. one on FLOTUS Jill Biden detail.

@SulomeAnderson @ClancyReports I was one of your dad's many students, and just saw him again recently when we honoured him as an SPJ fellow. He bragged about you, as dads will!
