"Fisher, who has been involved in a number of American governmental communication agencies in connection with Third World countries, including the International Communication Agency, the U.S.I.A., and as a Foreign Service Officer, has drawn upon both his professional experience and the academic disciplines of sociology, anthropology, and social psychology to seek a rationale which would enable him "to produce the kind of 'think piece' analysis that would sharpen the focus on trends and new factors which might affect the logic of a wide range of programs directed toward mutual understanding objectives." He does not pretend to have the answers, only the questions." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1990 Nr. 127)
