Overview

"These essays were delivered at a symposium held April 5-10, 1981, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Participants from all over the United States, Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Europe debated the question of a ""new world"" information and communica­tion order. In his keynote address, José Mayobre ana­lyzed the new information order debate in reference to Third World claims to increased participation. Mayobre, along with Ade­lumola Ogunade and Georgina Encanto, dis­cussed communication and national devel­opment in terms of ethnic integration and definitions of ""development news."" Chin-Chuan Lee, Reda Khalifa, and Hyeon-Dew Kang discussed the media image of the United States in China, Egypt, and South Korea. Jeremy Tunstall focused on Anglo-American cultural and administrative he­gemony in world information and the enter­tainment media. Jaspar Hsu criticized the general per­formance of American news media in treat­ing events from abroad. Erwin Atwood and Stuart Bullion considered how news content may contribute to the formation of ""mental maps"" of the world. Considerations of education for interna­tional communication included a call for a humanistic approach by Hanno Hardt; K. S. Sitaram's comments on intercultural com­munication; and Sylvanus Ekewlie's case study of journalism in Nigeria. Kaarle Nordenstreng asserted that jour­nalists and their news organizations tend to echo their home countries' ideological ori­entations. Panel discussions were conducted by Morris Rosenberg, Jae Won Lee, and Joseph Ashcroft, among others."
