The overarching theme of this dissertation bridges the disciplines of international relations (IR) and political communication by examining how the news media and public opinion influence the formation of global institutions and policies within international organizations (IOs). Chapter 1 first situates the news media as a nonstate actor within IR's major paradigms of realism, liberalism, and constructivism, then discusses major communication theories on the press' influence in foreign policymaking. It ends by proposing a framework on how the news media and public opinion affects IO policies. Chapters 2 and 3 delve deeper into how the news media influences a powerful IO - the World Bank - using as primary case the Bank's evolving policies on aid transparency. These two chapters respectively present qualitative (process causal) and quantitative (variance causal) evidence of news publications effectively pressuring the World Bank to discuss and institute accountability reforms. Chapter 2 uses archival research to present the mechanism of presumed media influence within World Bank policymaking, while Chapter 3 employs time-series analysis to show patterns of agenda setting and framing effects from the New York Times, despite other sources of Bank pressures. Finally, Chapter 4 is a normative essay on the public's future role in making IOs more accountable. It introduces a framework of issue politicization that disentangles public contestation from elite contestation, thereby clarifying the pathways of transforming multilateral issues from having high consensus to being highly contested, or vice versa. With faster issue politicization due to social media, the final chapter calls for IOs to embrace hybrid media diplomacy, move past traditional public relations, and actively diagnose and address misinformation related to international cooperation. It ends by discussing potential areas for future research in the political communication of IOs, with a view that scholarship needs to be more cognizant of increased mediatization of global politics.
