"The first half places African mass communications in a broad social context, touching on their history, technology, politics, etc.; the second half consists of three case studies: Zambia, Tanzania and Nigeria. A final chapter discusses roles and controls. The North African countries are not included." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1990 Nr. 312)
