It covers every continent, region and almost every country in North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania. Within each geographical area, it presents the history, key issues, trends and status of broadcasting facilities and penetration; the control, regulation and management of networks and stations by government, domestic and foreign industry and the public; the financing of broadcasting systems; programming types and trends, including foreign imports; media freedom and censorship; and external radio and television services from other countries. The book discusses how new technology and political, social and economic factors influence the global media, and shows how increasing privatization has changed patterns of control and access.
