The Asper Institute for New Media Diplomacy focuses on the study and application of new media technologies for use in diplomacy. The unique capabilities of these new technologies allow for innovative communication and enable us to promote diplomatic discourse and activities from different, and perhaps unexpected angles. Uses of new media also help us reach new and more varied audiences than reached by traditional media.

NoCamels
In 2010, the Asper Institute launched nocamels.com, now the world's leading news website on Israeli innovation. The site is read by a large local and international audience and is affiliated with leading news organizations such as TheMarker and TheNextWeb.
It is staffed by IDC students who are trained by professional journalists. The students then tour the country to interview the leading Israeli innovators and attend conferences and events. This year-long, exclusive program provides students with exposure to the world of innovation and journalism.
