 Communication: An Essential Aspect of Diplomacy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The problem, as we have seen, is that whatever diplomats do or don’t do, whatever they say or don’t say, will assume message value and be interpreted by their counterparts, whether they want it or not.
Diplomats, therefore, have to be content with saying both less and more than they mean: less, because their verbal and nonverbal signaling will never immediately convey their meaning; more, because their signaling will always convey messages and involve them in consequences other than those intended.
Whereas diplomatic signaling has traditionally been addressed to exclusive and clearly delineated audiences, with a high degree of control and possibilities to vary the message according to audience, the advent of new media has made the differentiation among audiences more difficult.
