problems, news flow, philosophies, relations with government for both print media and telecommunications, and ends with his analysis of the demand by developing nations for a new information order. In Part 2, "The World's Regions and Journalism" Paul S. Underwood treats Europe and the Middle East; John Luter and Jim Richstad, Asia and the Pacific; L. John Martin, Africa; Marvin Alisky, Latin America, and Ralph D. Barney and Deanna Nelson, the U.S. and Canada. All regions receive the same broad treatment as the general section, with no emphasis on particular newspapers, magazines or broadcast agencies but rather on philosophy and structure. Education and training for journalism in each area is discussed. Although there is a great deal of pertinent data about journalism throughout the world, the book is geared to "the neophyte, the inquisitive beginner" rather than the specialist. It is also intended as a text. 'Global Journalism' contains an excellent bibliography." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1990 Nr. 293)
