Review:

...fills an enormous gap in the literature in this field.... (Peter L. Haratonik, New School for Social Research)

This text is a welcome addition to the field of information and internationalism. Gibbons provides a cogent and analytical essay for media and politically oriented scholars and students. I feel this text is definitely what I call top drawer reading material.... (Stanley D. Tickton, Norfolk State University)
