"The press is hindered by illiteracy and by major distribution problems — Very often groups meet to listen to the radio — Radio Pakistan has copied the traditions of the BBC; objectivity and no state control of the organisation of the radio service." (Jean-Marie Van Bol, Abdelfattah Fakhfakh: The use of mass media in the developing countries. Brussels: CIDESA, 1971 Nr. 1669, topic code 110.1, 210.1)
