- Summary:
- This comprehensive handbook profiles the current state of the mass media in all the 25 countries/economies that comprise Asia. Following the customary division of the continent into South, Southeast, and East, the 36 contributors provide a dispassionate and exhaustive discussion of the problems and issues relating to the media in each country/economy. It not only covers the print and broadcasting industries but also the "new" media associated with the information technology revolution.
- Overall, this handbook describes the crucial features and outcomes of Asia's interaction with and reaction to the rapidly expanding Information Superhighway. A valuable reference tool for educational and public libraries, it will be essential reading for all those involved in mass media studies, international and comparative communication, journalism, advertising, and public relations.
