Foreign news and the new world information order

A collection of 14 essays analyzing the debate over systems of information and communication in the world. These tend to confirm the impression that the availability of news from outside national borders has grown, but its distribution is unbalanced and its utilization is limited and uneven. The first part was issued by USIA as a research report "Foreign News and the New World Information Order." Other papers which appeared as convention papers and as part of a Unesco research project discuss the cultural meaning of foreign news, "bad news" and the Third World, a comparative study of Third World elite newspapers, Egypt and Israel in the Arab Press, foreign news in the Western agencies and the determinents of foreign news coverage in the U.S. press.
