Review
“Most compelling is this work's focus on radio as the primary international medium for cultural information.”–
Book Description
Today hundreds of millions of people throughout the world depend on international radio broadcasting for their understanding of national and international political affairs. This volume represents the first application of theory and research in sociology and communication to analyze the contents of this medium of international political communication. Wasburn illustrates how two theoretical perspectives, social construction of reality theory and media-system-dependency theory, can be applied to understand the ways in which nations use symbolic means to position themselves in the international arena of political competition.
