| Summary: | As much as public diplomacy is constantly discussed and used in terms of
warfare and practical concerns of international relations, nevertheless, in
journalism, other parts of news reporting such as crimes and crisis concerning
foreign nationals also needs to be focused on especially in this borderless world
and where migration of nationals are fast becoming a sociocultural trend. The
use of a ‘soft power approach’ in terms of using general semantics sometimes
pacifies a volatile situation from erupting. This paper explores the use of general
semantics as a mechanism in strategic communication in evaluating a high
profile crime case which involved a Mongolian national and a high ranking
Malaysian politician which in parallel helps readers and researchers understand
a subtle approach in reaching public diplomacy. |
