"A comprehensive work which surveys in detail the state of TV in every nation that has TV available to any extent. Covering Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America, and Australia, it examines programming, financing, the availability of talent, the role of government, and the possible future course of TV. Written by the former head of Time's London Bureau, it is also extremely readable." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1990 Nr. 632)
