published a total of sixteen weeklies in Hausa and in other Nigerian languages. In 1948 it began the publication of the national daily The Nigerian Citizen.

Wilhoit, a former editor of Journalism Abstracts, continues to direct the Journalism Library at Indiana University and is assistant professor at the School of Journalism. Their preface notes that the bibliography serves three primary purposes: 1) a reference source, 2) a research and reading list, and 3) a collection management and buying guide. "All entries have one common factor: they treat the subject in broad general terms." Chapters include "General Communications," "Broadcasting Media," "Print Media," "Film, Advertising and Public Relations," "Bibliographies, Directories and Handbooks," "Journals," and "Indexes to the Mass Communication Literature." Topics not covered (unless in the course of discussing broader mass communications subjects) are censorship, law, copyright, printing, post office, instructional broadcasting, and telephone and telegraph. Entries are descriptive and detailed. In the citation to Douglass Cater's The Fourth Branch of Gouernment (no. 59), for example, it is revealed that Cater was one of the early writers to realize the importance of the reporter's role in government, as exemplified by the Washington journalist. As a Washington reporter himself who was working at the time for The Reporter, an analytical fortnightly, he observed and participated, so that his book is written from first-hand knowledge. It is this attention to detail that makes Mass Media Bibliography so indispensable. When used as a buying guide, the only problem one might encounter is the lack of purchase price and ISBN numbers. Author, title, and subject indexes are exhaustive. So is everything else." (Jo A. Cates: Journalism - a guide to the reference literature. Englewood, Col.: Libraries Unlimited, 2nd ed. 1997 nr. 12)

cally by date of first issue. A typical entry is spare: Pactor liste, when available, publishing dates, editors, circulation, historical notes, and holdings. This is an unattractive source, with unevenly spaced type and occasional grammatical and typographical errors. The mein drangback, however, is Pactor's breadth of research; he notes that "the findings reported here are the result of a Research Summer Grant provided by the College of Journalism and Communications at the University of Florida." That, in itself is not a problem; it is an importart collection. However, had he examined, for example, other sources such as Newspapers in Microform (entries 538-539), he would have been able to include more comprehensive information." (Jo A.
