"This bibliography attempts to open an additional area of research to scholars interested in the years of Asian journalism prior to about 1960. The bibliography is eclectic and its' scope ambiguous.

e knowledge of the bibliographical complexity of the Asian field. The scope is hedged by generalities and the careful reader will find many exceptions; however, the main emphasis is asymptomatically defined by the following parameteres: 1. pre-1960; 2. historical and descriptive; 3. newspapers; 4. China; 5. Southeast Asia, primarily Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia; 6. Chinese press in the United States; 7. secondary materials." (Introduction)

"An analysis of media imperialism with a middle-range focus. Capitalist exploitation, Lee contends, is not limited to the Third World but extends to advanced capitalist countries as well. The real questions should resolve around " (1) the extent to which Marxist-Leninist theory of 'media imperialism

' withstands vigorous historical tests and empirical verification; (2) the extent to which liberal rhetoric of 'free flow' refutes its formidable critics; and (3) the extent to which socialist centralized control, as some Marxian adherents claim, constitutes a viable alternative to the media imperialism of advanced capitalism.''

"This does as much as can be expected - perhaps more - from an 85-page history of mass communication in Asia. Divided into three sections, it consists of very short chronological accounts of print media in 16 countries, broadcast media in 25, and film in six. This is particularly useful because the

facts, although scant, go back to beginnings, and because leading newspapers in their respective countries are identified by name. As might be expected, the section on print media is by far the longest, with 50 pages, even though it deals with fewer countries; broadcast media takes up 24 pages; and film only nine."

The aim is "to develop indicators of the strengths and weaknesses of the constituent markets, to analyze the general state and direction of growth of the book industry, and to interrelate these factors so as to provide a firm basis for decision-making in public."

An Executive Summary condenses the total findings, and a 13-page introduction summarizes the findings in terms of certain important trends. At the end of the second volume are conclusions. Index."
