loping countries, which are broken down again in the geographical index. Each of the 2533 titles is also accompanied by a brief summary in French and English, which provides further details on the content of the referenced title. Book and journal publications from the years 1950 to 1969 are included, whereby the period between 1950 and 1960 is only partially covered, according to the authors. The actual annotated bibliography is preceded by an analytical plan which, in no less than 14 pages, attempts to cover the entire field of journalism in developing countries, from theory to press, radio, film, television and audiovisual media. At the same time, according to this plan, the relevant numbers of the titles published in the bibliography are given on pages 15 to 36, making it much easier to work through the topics. The analytical plan, like the entire work, is written in French and English, whereby the original working language was French - which is made clear in various places by obvious ‘translations’. In addition to publications from the French and English language areas, titles from the Dutch, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese language areas are also included. It is clear that with the use of so many languages, some printing errors creep into titles and bibliographical details, although these do not necessarily prevent the original from being found. In the introduction to this extensive work, it is specifically pointed out that no claim is made to completeness, which could hardly be achieved with publications from the non-English and non-French language areas in particular. Nevertheless, this is probably the most comprehensive bibliography on the subject to date." (Review by Franz-Josef Eilers in: Communicatio Socialis, vol. 6, 1973, no. 1, page 88)

The second part deals with the way selected European nations present African news, with a chapter each on the British, French, and North American mass media, a single chapter on the Soviet and Czechoslovak presses, and four chapters on Scandinavian broadcasting systems, including Finnish.

Zu Nord-Uganda rechnet der Verfasser die politischen Distrikte Lango, Karamoja, Acholi und West-Nile, die vor der Unabhängigkeit auch den heute selbständigen Distrikt Madi (Moyo) umfaßten. Das Gebiet entsprach nach der kirchlichen Einteilung der Diözese Gulu, die von Verona-Patres verwaltet wird. Untersucht werden für die Zeit von 1952 bis 1962 die beiden Missionsblätter „Lobo Mewa" (Lwo-Sprache) und „Leadership" (englischsprachig), die einzigen Missionsblätter, die in der Nordprovinz damals veröffentlicht wurden. Neben einer vom Thema geforderten Inhaltsanalyse macht der Verfasser auch aufschlußreiche allgemeine Angaben über die beiden Zeitschriften und die allgemeine Situation katholischer Presse in Uganda vor der Unabhängigkeit. Beide Zeitschriften erschienen und erscheinen als Publikationen der von italienischen Verona-Patres geleiteten katholischen Mission Gulu." (Seite 35)

isher of a mimeo newspaper It is, in fact, an elementary manual for the journalist who has had no professional experience, and is in a form suitable for reprinting and wide distribution to the staffs of the rural papers. The mimeo newspaper is, admittedly, a rudimentary form of publishing, technically limited by the capacity of the equipment used. It is none the less significant for all that, and in passing, it should be noted that with skill and care, a professional looking paper can be produced. The important thing, however, is that this method of production enables a means of expression and establishes a small business enterprise, years before it would be economically possible with conventional printing plant. On the basis of the Liberian experience, it is estimated that a paper could be established with an initial outlay of as little as $100, and that it could provide a living for its owner/editor from the outset. This is a beginning from which a publisher and a community might aspire to progress until the time when a printed broadsheet can be produced by a professional staff on a modern printing plant."
