Third World Broadcasting.
The Third World 'hopped on the bandwagon' of the technological revolution that was passing it by, unevenly matched to compete by market standards. Leaders initially saw broadcasting as an instrument of national unity that would operate in favour of economic development, but this attitude has been abandoned now that major economic and political interests have entered the field. Public debate is therefore important on the new order of international communications and on the role of UNESCO and other international bodies. The development of broadcasting is beset with many problems: insufficient equipment, poorly-defined structures and statutes, financing difficulties and technological dependence. Where lies the potential for international cooperation ? The author considers new bilateral agreements and UNESCO as the prime elements of progress.
