"Instead of describing typical systems in their entirety ...," says Head in his foreword, "I decided to organize the text on the basis of the common problems faced by all systems" to show the basic, universal demands and dilemmas they all must face as each interacts with its particular national sett

ing. His purpose is to enable students, after allowances for limitations imposed by national settings, to appraise the system critically by comparing reality with the ideal possibilities. Thus, he discusses, in terms of the various systems, their origins, their politics of both ownership and access, their laws, regulation, economics, facilities, programming and programs, audience research, transborder broadcasting, and broadcasting and freedom. Although intended as a text, this has much wider uses." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1990 Nr. 652)

ming, and they consider the future of the medium. They explain that they have made the study as comprehensive as possible, but because of the wide range of the subject, the number of stations involved, and the difficulty in getting facts, there are inevitable omissions. There is a bibliography and an appendix, "Estimated Total Programme Hours Per Week of Some External Broadcasters." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed.

d South and Central America. While studies on news flow in Latin America and Asia are numerous, there are fewer for Africa and the Socialist countries, which makes their inclusion especially valuable. Certain of the works are supported with systematic data, while others are historical and analytical. Entries, which are extensively annotated, cover monographs, periodical articles, and theses, and are by contributors from around the globe. Hamid Mowlana compiled an earlier bibliography, International Communication: A Selected Bibliography (Dubuque, IA: Kendall/Hunt, 1971), well-organized but not annotated." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G.

Articles discuss concentration of the media in both state and private hands, with its inevitable result on public opinion as it becomes more and more powerful; the danger that the increasing internationalization of media may prevent democratic control; and a final article, "Advertising and the Creation of Global Markets," contending that the new information technologies are creating an infrastructure that is making the 20th century "information age" a "commercial age" at a global level."

"Browne calls this book a selective history of international radio broadcasting designed to help the reader 'understand better the reasons for the birth and growth of international stations in particular and international radio in general, the sorts of internal and external pressures that bear upon
...
stations, the sorts of messages they broadcast, and the types of listeners they reach.' Documentation varies because it is sometimes unavailable, but it is richest for the Western stations, including Communist ones, and thinnest for the Third World stations. Contents include a general discussion of structure and growth; stations in specific countries or parts of the world; religious stations; audience research; and conclusions, speculations and suggestions. Appendixes give: International Broadcasting Program Categories; Language Services Added (and dropped) by Six Major International Broadcasters - 1960-1980; Estimated Weekly Broadcast Hours for Some Leading International Radio Stations; and Six Major Broadcasters and Their Services in Some of the World's Major Languages. There is also a bibliographical essay and an index." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1990 Nr. 536)
