"The author deals with the problem of television in the developing countries — Admittedly, the difficulties and obstacles are far from negligible: problems of production, technical problems, problems of adaptation and many others — But, when these problems are mastered, television is called upon to play a vital part in development — The author next considers various technical problems concerned with making programmes, production, sound recording, the adaptation of the technique to specific climatic conditions — The main leit-motiv of the article is the vital contribution television can make to the young nations. Present title of the periodical is: "British Kinematographs, Sights and Sounds"." (Jean-Marie Van Bol, Abdelfattah Fakhfakh: The use of mass media in the developing countries.
