Bücher von Professor Elihu (Hebrew University of Jerusalem Israel) Katz

Broadcasting has long been considered one of the keys to modernization in the developing world. Able to leap the triple barrier of distance, illiteracy, and apathy, it was seen as a crucial clement in the development of new nations. Recently, however, these expectations have been disappointed by broadcasting's failures to reach the rural masses and the urban unemployed. Broadcasting has also come under attack as serious questions have been raised about its uncritical importation of western culture. Now, in "Broadcasting in the Third World," Elihu Katz and George Wedell offer the first complete coverage of the problems and promises of broadcasting in the third world.
