"The most striking impression is the fact that little research exists. Our review touched studies and discussions of many kinds, all with some relation to the central question, "What are the effects of cross-cultural broadcasting?" Much of what we found is based on fear or undue optimism. The lack o

f studies firmly rooted in data: this is the overriding fact about this inquiry. While the image of cross-cultural broadcasting may be one of the ''cultural'' interchange, the reality is that of the marketplace. Commercial values are the rule; non-commercial broadcasting is not a major competitor to commercial programming. Programmes intended for any type of social improvement are rare. If they exist at all, they can be found on radio much more than on television or in films. General entertainment programming has a definite social value, but most observers would hope for programming more explicitly geared to the social needs of their diverse audiences. Furthermore, imported entertainment programmes produced for foreign audiences penetrate the host culture in ways that are not understood. Lack of understanding generates uneasiness and fear."

"This bibliography [...] contains 395 annotated entries that cover a variety of problems and issues relating to communication policy and planning in fifty-three countries. The main purpose of the bibliography is to serve as a reference tool for social science researchers interested in the emerging a
...
rea of communication planning research, and policy makers and planners engaged in the practical tasks of communication planning. This is probably the first comprehensive annotated bibliography on communication policy and planning. The literature on this area is not very large. Books, journal articles, and reports dealing exclusively with communication policy and planning issues are very limited in number. In most cases the policy and planning problems are discussed in the context of other communication problems. Therefore, the selection of items for this bibliography has been somewhat eclectic reflecting our preference, experience, and access to the general literature on communication and development. We limited our search to English language literature on communication that focuses on communication and development." (Preface)

"The results of research on the effectiveness of four alternative instructional media are reviewed: traditional classroom instruction, instructional radio, instructional television, programed instruction, and computer-assisted instruction (CAI). It was concluded that students learn effectively from

all these media; relatively few studies indicate significant differences between media in effectiveness. Future research should focus on four areas: 1) determine if programed instruction and CAI can be shown to save instructional time over a longer period and with a higher percentage of students; 2) investigate long-term effects of instructional technologies on students' motivations; 3) investigate the long-term effects of the individualization and privacy made possible by some of the technologies; and 4) future investigations should consider more imaginative uses of new technologies instead of using technology to provide a simulation of some traditional method."
