"How have the overthrow of the Somoza regime in 1979 and a new and very different political approach to government affected Nicaragua's communication system? To discover the effects the author has studied not only the structure and development of the communication system - print, broadcasting and film - but also the history and political, socio-economic, cultural and educational system behind it. This is all brought together in a final "Interconnections between Communication and other Subsystems of Nicaragua." Most of the research was done in the country itself through numerous interviews with a wide variety of Nicaraguans. In conclusion is a bibliography which includes books and papers, decrees, and newspapers, newsletters and magazines. This is a very thorough study." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G.
