Congrats to John Brown for a solid year of blogging and compiling the PDPBR for the USC Center on Public Diplomacy Web site (of which I am managing editor).
U.S. News‘s David E. Kaplan named the PDPBR one of the top ten blogs of ’06 in his “Bad Guys” column.
Brown, who served for over twenty years as a foreign service officer before resigning in protest of the Iraq War, has really come into his own with the Review — a thrice weekly aggregation of news and commentary on issues pertinent to Public Diplomacy. He also penned several essays for the Public Diplomacy Blog and online publications including TomPaine.com and Commondreams.org in 2006.
Congrats, JB!
