In: Communication, Culture & Society in Papua New Guinea: Yu Tok Wanem?
Madang: DWU Press, Divine Word University (2011), pp. 147-156
"The findings of this research have indicated that Radio Madang [the public service broadcaster in Madang province] is an appropriate medium for disseminating information and messages on development issues to people in rural areas of Madang province. With an audience of about 200,000 throughout the ... more
"How should scholars approach the study of the developmental uses of rural radio? What is the theoretical framework within which to locate the study of rural radio formats employed as development communication?
