"This publication deals with the meeting convened by Unesco at Bangkok, 18-29 January 1960, to draw up a programme for the development of information media in South East Asia. The meeting was attended by representatives of Member States of Unesco, mass media experts of the region and observers from international organizations -about 120 participants in all. The Bangkok meeting forms part of a world survey which Unesco is conducting at the request of the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations. Similar meetings are expected tobe held for Latin America at Santiago de Chile in 1961 and for Africa at Addis Ababa in 1962. The survey is intended to enable the United Nations to evaluate the resources needed to help the underdeveloped countries to build up their information media. The present publication contains the inaugural speech by the Director-General of Unesco at the Bangkok meeting, followed by the report adopted by the meeting and by papers submitted to it by various specialists in the mass communication field. These papers are grouped according to the four main subjects coveredby the meeting, namely: (i) newspapers and periodicals / (ii) news agencies and telecommunications / (iii) radio broadcasting, film and television / (iv) training in journalism and mass communication research."
