Here are two signs of hope for the world’s secret superpower
Timothy Garton Ash writing in The Guardian looks at the growing importance of the media in the world, calling the newspaper “a weapon more powerful than most in the possession of the US army” with “much of its impact comes from its dissemination through electronic screens” today.
