Book excerpt: Negotiating in the Press presents an engaging analysis of diplomacy and the press in the aftermath of WWI. Rather than revisiting the story of lost journalistic freedom, it describes the press's newfound power in the war's aftermath -- a seminal moment when journalists discovered their ability to help broker peace deals. By challenging the assumption that the press was peripheral to the quest for peace, Hayden demonstrates that journalists instead played an integral part in the talks. Negotiating in the Press offers a fresh look at the dawn of public diplomacy, when leading nations and the press democratized foreign policy.
