"Lent calls Asian Mass Communications "the first attempt to make available in one place as much as possible of what has been written on all aspects of mass communications, both in Asian institutions and abroad." It is divided by region into four sections - Asia (general), East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia - and subdivided by country, with research institutions, type of research conducted, and bibliographies and periodicals published about or in the respective nations. Entries, of which there are thousands, are unannotated. Contains a number of references which would be difficult to find elsewhere." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1990 Nr. 1667)
