Training, Recruitment and Advancement of Women in the Communication Professions. The case-studies on professional women in broadcasting deal with five countries located in both the developing and developed world: Canada, Egypt, Ecuador, India and Nigeria.

The obstacles to the movement of women into management and decision-making positions are particularly felt in the field of communication. A comparative analysis of the key issues, personnel policies and practices of five broadcasting organizations in different regions of the world not only furnishes a critique of current policies concerning women but offers proposals for action which could help to overcome barriers to women's access to high-level posts in the media."
