"Sixteen experts representing Latin America, the Third World, Europe, Israel, Canada, and the U.S. examine from their various viewpoints the new problems that have arisen in international communications. Their articles challenge conventional thinking on concepts such as free flow of information, cultural integrity, the role of communications in national development, the right of nations to control their own cultural/communication space, and the current makeup of the international system of information transfer." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1990 Nr. 323)
