"Materials concerning the use of radio and mass communications for non-formal education and development are listed in a selected annotated bibliography, intended for those actively involved in non-formal education and development. Three sections contain annotated entries (which range from 1972-1983)
...
, each of which includes source information and notes languages in which publications are available. Section 1, on radio in non-formal education, lists 118 documents from 25 nations, including case studies; samples of scripts; pretest and survey instruments; and information on planning, organizing, financing, broadcast techniques, theoretical considerations, historical background, and evaluation. The programs listed range from local or regional campaigns to national mass campaigns, and from special non-formal education programs to highly structured radiophonic schools which supplement or even take the place of formal education. The second section describes 10 newsletters, from England, the United States, Australia, Spain, and Singapore, which focus exclusively on radio education or which regularly contain articles of interest on the use of radio and other communications media for formal and non-formal education. Section 3 lists 11 organizations, in Colombia, the Philippines, Gambia, England, Spain, the Netherlands, Nepal, Chile, and the United States, which can provide additional information for those working in educational radio broadcasting and development communication."

"The initials SITE stand for Satellite Instructional Television Experiment. In this publication, commissioned by Unesco, the accent is on the word experiment. It is a summary and a critical assessment of the majority of the research studies relating to the whole complex operation, not an evaluation

of the programme itself. The SITE project involved in- and out-of-school instruction and participation; it had complex managerial, technical and economic problems. Research had also to be organized at the formative, operational and summative stages of the experiment. This study tries to cover each of these dimensions. SITE as a project had about 50 research studies as essential components, the reports of which comprise 19 volumes. They are of especial interest to social scientists concerned with the developmental impact of modern communication techniques in rural areas and they are particularly relevant in view of the present proposal to establish a more permanent satellite-based communication system in India in the near future. However, it is unlikely that the totality of the research carried out on SITE will reach a wide audience, if only because of the considerable volume In this publication, of data produced. It therefore seemed useful 19 Unesco to commission a summary of the research findings and to present these, not as a retrospective evaluation of the project, but as a digest of what was discovered. Professor M. S. Gore of the TATA Institute in India - an eminent sociologist - was asked to undertake this formidable task. He was asked, first of all, to reduce the 19 volumes to a document of manageable size, while retaining what was essential and of universal interest. In addition, he was asked to look at the "SITE studies" from the point of view of their methodological adequacy and hence the validity of their findings. In his report he has also tried to answer in some degree the more general question as to whether the SITE experience has been worthwhile and can perhaps be transferable in suitable circumstances to other nations and regions."
