re entitled to equal rights of access to information technology. 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."

es all told. The editors' goal was "not to orchestrate the voices but to select papers that are well-argued and representative of the diversity of opinion on various issues." Thus there are case studies as well as policy statements and critiques. In five parts: "Global Perspectives on Information," "Transnational Communications: The Flow of News and Images," "Telecommunications," "Mass Communications: Development within National Contexts," and "Intergovemmental Systems. " Appendixes include a bibliography, international and intergovernmental events and documents on the subject, acronyms and other terms used, and global satellite systems." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G.

ategories, basic economics, and evolutional processes. A detailed description of International Telecommunications Satellite Consortium (INTELSAT) gives an up-to-date picture of an operational communication satellite system. The last part reviews ongoing and proposed experiments that could help revolutionize education over the next two decades. Eight national and international projects are described, in terms of general objectives, scope, cost, software, and evaluation. It is hoped that the satellite experiments will provide answers to many of the questions that communication experts, educators, and engineers have asked about the operational feasibility of using satellites in developed and less-developed countries. But the author also cautions that future success in this field depends not only on satellite technology per se but also the success of program content." (https://eric.ed.gov)

n, by increasing the flow of information and its speed of availability and by bypassing the editorial process, can produce a less informed, rather than a better informed, public opinion, and may create tension due to hasty decisions. There will be technical problems of frequency allocation, compatibility of standards, and control of programs and legal problems of copyright and protection against commercial exploitation. Major artistic and political events will be viewed world-wide, simultaneously, reducing parochialism and xenophobia. Communication satellites will aid education, especially in developing countries and facilitate interlibrary exchange of information. They should also create a mutual flow of information between the developed and the developing nations. Information from the latter should cover normal developments in the news, not just crisis situations. An appendix lists participants. This document is based upon papers submitted to the UNESCO meeting of experts on the use of space communication by the mass media (Paris, December 6-10, 1965)." (https://eric.ed.gov)
