"The emphasis of our study is on process, on the dynamics of accommodating the phenomenon of broadcasting and its institutional forms to the surroundings of a developing country for which it was not in the first instance designed," say the authors. They are also interested in side effects, some of which were not anticipated. Basing their work on an extensive review of statistical and documentary data concerning broadcasting in 91 developing countries and on case studies of 11 of these, they assess the status quo in terms of structure, control, and social and cultural patterns. The 11 countries include Algeria, Brazil, Cyprus, Indonesia, Iran, Nigeria, Peru, Senegal, Singapore, Tanzania, and Thailand. Contains a number of tables of data throughout and an appendix of supplementary tables. Two other appendixes give methodology and levels of development of the 91 selectcd countries. There are numerous footnotes and an index. Winner of the 1977 National Association of Education Broadcasters Award." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed.
