"In the mid-1970s News Agencies of Non-Aligned Countries joined in a cooperative system which they called the Pool for the purpose of strengthening mutual relations by an information exchange system and by other actions which would increase the quality and quantity of information through technological means, training of personnel, reduction of tariffs, and other appropriate measures. Here the Committee has brought together documents, declarations and decisions which concern context and style of Pool news, the progress of the Pool over the years, and its plans for future development, including its role within a New International Information Order. Bibliography and list of documents." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1990 Nr. 731)
