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.

and Western Europe and Latin America during one week in 1979. Two methods were employed: one measured the amount of foreign news while the second balanced measurement with a qualitative analysis of the material, fleshing out the content, drawing attention to omissions, and showing the flavor of the kinds of news coverage available within each media system. Appendixes give the participating teams; the coding of the study; a section on "Other Research and the World of News" by Robert L. Stevenson which not only lists the research from other studies but breaks the material down into tables and draws overall conclusions; and a final appendix: "The News of the World in Four Major Wire Services: A Study of Selected Services of the Associated Press, United Press International, Reuters, and Agence France-Press" by David Weaver, Cleveland Wilhoit, Robert Stevenson, Donald Lewis Shaw, and Richard Cole."
