"The aim of this booklet is not only to inform; we tried in the first place to give a journalistic view of a country, that only some decades ego was a backward feudal country and by now is able to regard with satisfaction the remarkable results of its socialist construction," explains the editor. Twenty seven of its 44 pages are devoted to this transformation of Mongolia, followed by brief summaries of the role of the various media. Useful in spite of the scarcity of information because so little exists on mass communications in Mongolia." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed.
