"Contrairement aux promesses du titre, l'article ne traite pas de la presse continentale chinoise — Il se borne à l'examen des publications de langue chinoise paraissant notamment à Hong-Kong, Taiwan, Singapour, en Thaïlande, au Vietnam et aux Etats-Unies — Il nous apprend cependant que 28 mi

Chapter VI is devoted to an examination of the use made of news by broadcasting stations and their relations with news agencies. Lastly, Chapter VII studies the most important question of all-how the general public in each country gets its news." (Introduction, page 10)
