"There are few foreign correspondents in the press agencies — Turkey is more an information market than a source of information — Only Associated Press is directly active there — The other agencies supply their servicesthrough the national agency — Information from abroad is inadequate, mainlybecause in general the public is not much interested in international events; this is why those who are interested write to the foreign newspapers." (Jean-Marie Van Bol, Abdelfattah Fakhfakh: The use of mass media in the developing countries. Brussels: CIDESA, 1971 Nr. 127, topic code 132)
