"A study to determine the extent to which radio broadcasting is available throughout the world as a means of communicating information and to examine ways of overcoming political, economic, and technological obstacles that impede its availability. It describes broadcasting systems in the various countries, broadcasting between countries, use of the radio spectrum, the sharing of frequencies, the quest for better techniques, and the impact of television on radio broadcasting." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1990 Nr. 564)
