Diplomatic Communication.

The breakthrough in communication between Iran, the United States and other Western countries in 2013 was done through underground and back channel diplomacy. This kind of diplomatic relation illustrates how important diplomatic communications are in the international arena. Without diplomacy there is no communication and without communication there is no diplomacy. Diplomacy and communication work together in both friendly and hostile nations. Iran and the Unites States have not been communicating publicly since 1980, yet back channel communication continued. This article ties Ed Paulson research in Beyond Chat, directly into media richness and the importance of communication. Research in media richness helps individuals, organizations, the international community, and more, choose the best communication media to use for any form of communication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
