Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy Judith McHale held a press briefing at the White House yesterday to discuss outreach surrounding President Obama’s recent speech in Accra, Ghana. Led by the Department of State and the White House Office of New Media, U.S. embassy posts throughout Africa engaged citizens across the continent in what McHale called a “model of creative public diplomacy for the 21st century.”
