Information Flow in Asia — An Overview^*

* Speakers at the International Communication Forum organised by the Japan Society of Information and Communication Research and held in Tokyo from 12–13 November 1984.

Abstract

Almost a decade ago, in 1975, the Asian Mass Communication Research and Information Centre (AMIC), organised a regional conference on Information Imbalance in Asia. A paper presented at that Conference listed some of the major areas of information imbalance (Mitra, 1975).… The apprehensions and uncertainties voiced almost a decade ago have carried overto the present. However, this modest study of developments over this nine year span shows that while problems persist, there has been unmistakable progress.
