"This annotated bibliography is arranged under four major sections: press (579 entries); broadcasting (269 entries); film (381 entries); and general (526 entries), providing a total of 1,755 entries. The bibliography is well laid out, arranged by author and title. The bibliography limits its coverag

e to those works available at a US or European library. Essential criteria for the author were to prepare annotations and to provide information which is easily accessible to the Western researcher. The selection criteria also preclude most newspaper articles, short reviews and brief articles in news and other popular magazines. The annotations are short, ranging from one to five lines. The coverage, as would be expected, shows a high bias toward South Africa for geographical, political and developmental reasons. It does, however, cover all the countries in Africa. An author index and subject and geographical index are provided which would help the researcher in picking up useful citations. The bibliography also contains a list of journals consulted which includes almost all the important journals in media studies." (K. N. Rao, Collection Building, Vol. 17, No. 1, pages 51-52)

"The fact that the number of titles from only six years [3.199] almost equals that of the considerably longer reporting period of the basic work [covering the period between 1960 and 1987, published in 1988] demonstrates the proliferation of publications in this field as well. It is an advantage tha

t most of the titles are now briefly annotated and that the typographical design is now much more pleasing. As in the basic work, the catalogue is divided into monographs (132) and articles (3,067); among the latter, the very short (newspaper) articles predominate by far, just as the journals and newspapers analysed are very difficult to access.[1] It is worth mentioning that the proportion of French-language publications far exceeds that of English-language publications (not to mention the relatively few in other languages). As far as the information content of many contributions is concerned, even the bibliographer[2] expresses lasting doubts. Index: 1. co-authors; 2. film actors; 3. film festivals; 4. film titles; 5. directors; 6. other persons involved in the production; 6. African countries; 7. selected keywords."
