"It would be a mistake to imagine that reporting from southern Africa is a special case. One of the points that must be made is that newsagency correspondents are expected to and expect to be able to report in many different types of social, political and economic situations.

int expressed to the author by the agency correspondents working in southern Africa. While clearly this is essential if the newsmen are to carry out their jobs, it is also fraught with problems. It means that the world is reduced to a unidimensionality which it does not have. Different situations demand different treatments. However, realization of this must also be accompanied by an awareness of the particular types of official control practised by the southern African regimes. This control impinges directly upon the newsmen stationed in southern Africa, in a manner that affects the types of output they are able to produce. As outsiders looking in upon the world of journalism, we are perfectly entitled to criticize the ways in which the agency newsmen operate in situations we find personally abhorrent. As outsiders looking in, however, we must not lose sight of the very severe constraints placed upon these newsmen by regimes determined to control the flow of news and information both to and from their countries."

The book shows that while the news agencies' role in the Third World is an important issue, it must also be seen in relation to their viability in their own developed world and points out the various pitfalls involved in the delivery of international news. All in all, this is one of the best possible sources for a critical examination of news agencies and their service role and for an explanation of the production of news, itself a fragile commodity."
