Publicly mediated diplomacy through online subsidies and the promotion of peace
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This chapter examines how various countries such as USA, Canada, Sweden and the UK and a range of international organisations aim to influence public perceptions about peacebuilding in targeted countries through public mediated diplomacy efforts. Specifically, it explores the role of online information subsidies (e.g., statements, press briefings, news stories and fact sheets) as a venue for perception management regarding the transition to post-conflict environments through spatial framing. Drawing on contemporary literature in the area, the author argues that online subsidies constitute a key mediated public diplomacy strategy for agenda and frame-building purposes, directed not only towards international news media but also publicly accessible to anyone with internet access. Framing through online subsidies in this fashion links traditional and contemporary diplomatic practice as well as news production and public relations transference of values. Underpinned by an understanding of mediated public diplomacy in a constructivist fashion, the author emphasises the role of international communicative engagement in fostering a public good such as peace, beyond national interests and image building.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
