Development communication in action: building understanding and creating participation

Oxford: University Press of America (2000), 325 pp., tables, index, bibliogr. p.285-313
"Addressing the use of communication (interpersonal, folk, traditional, group, organizational, and mass media) in the development process, this book discusses some of the conceptual and theoretical basis for integrating communication effectively into development plans and execution. It also examines the rationale and practical necessity for such integration, and uses case studies to demonstrate how to positively take advantage of communication potentials and possibilities while avoiding possible dysfunctions."
