Panel discusses legacy of Princess Diana’s advocacy
Celebrity advocacy was the topic of debate Wednesday when the USC Center on Public Diplomacy gathered former diplomats and professors together to discuss Diana, Princess of Wales, as a case study for advocacy not just on behalf of royals or states, but on behalf of individuals as well.
The panel consisted of Patrick Jephson, Princess Diana’s former Chief of Staff, Brett Bruen, former U.S. Diplomat and Director of Global Engagement at the White House and Bill Beaman, adjunct professor of Public Communications and a founding partner of OnPoint Strategies. The discussion was moderated by Mary Murphy, a journalist and senior lecturer in the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.
