stations, the sorts of messages they broadcast, and the types of listeners they reach.' Documentation varies because it is sometimes unavailable, but it is richest for the Western stations, including Communist ones, and thinnest for the Third World stations. Contents include a general discussion of structure and growth; stations in specific countries or parts of the world; religious stations; audience research; and conclusions, speculations and suggestions. Appendixes give: International Broadcasting Program Categories; Language Services Added (and dropped) by Six Major International Broadcasters - 1960-1980; Estimated Weekly Broadcast Hours for Some Leading International Radio Stations; and Six Major Broadcasters and Their Services in Some of the World's Major Languages. There is also a bibliographical essay and an index." (Eleanor Blum, Frances G. Wilhoit: Mass media bibliography. 3rd ed. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1990 Nr. 536)
