"Although rural development, especially in the Third World, is a major concern of UNESCO, emphasis here is upon those uses of media which support community initiatives in urban settings or were introduced to help resolve tensions and problems. Media are not limited to newspapers and broadcasting; th

ey also include such other forms as wall posters, mimeographed newsletters, audio cassettes and portable video equipment. Emphasis, however, is not upon the medium or its mode of delivery, but rather upon its function within a community program to focus upon the urban problem. Scope is international and arrangement is by country: Africa, the Arab world, Australia, the Caribbean (a case study), Europe, India, Japan, Latin America, North America and the Philippines. An appendix includes extracts from the Final Report of the Urban Community Media Consultation, UNESCO: "Proposals for related activities," and "Proposals for future activities and research programmes.'' A 1977 study edited by Frances J. Berrigan, 'Access: Some Western Modern Models of Community Media' (UNESCO), is a discussion accompanied by case studies of different ways in which communities in the U. S., Canada and some European countries have provided access for audience participation in broadcasting programming for both television and radio." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G.

In June of that year, following a Unesco General Conference decision authorizing a long-term programme of research and the promotion of "the study of the role and effects of the media of mass communication in modern society", Unesco organized a meeting of experts in Montreal on Mass Communication and Society and, as may be seen from the main working paper and the official Report of the meeting, research co-operation at both national and international levels figured prominently on the formal agenda and in the wide-ranging discussions."

"Three research projects studied in detail the mass media behaviors of poor children, adolescents, and adults. These studies focused on a complete range of media behaviors - media use, availability, content preferences, functions, and attitudes. They considered a comprehensive set of media including

radio, television, newspapers, magazines, phonographs, and movies. Low income blacks were compared to low income whites and to low income respondents in general, and all three categories of respondents were compared to the general population. It was found that members of low income groups, particularly blacks, spend more time watching television and are more apt to believe what they see than is the general population. Therefore, the researchers envision the mass media, particularly television, as an important tool in providing low income families with access to the mainstream of society. The researchers also conducted an extensive search of studies and reports currently available in the social science literature which concern topics related to the communication behaviors of the poor. The results of some 80 such reports are summarized and discussed in relation to each other. Extensive abstracts of these reports then appear in an annotated bibliography." (https://eric.ed.gov)
