    "INFORMATION IMBALANCES": Communications and the Developing World Shashi Tharoor* A Latin American newspaper ignores a historic economic conference between the under-developed nations and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries in order to play up the opening of a New York photographic exhibition by Caroline Kennedy. On a single day a newspaper in India devotes three times the wordage to Princess Anne's fall from a horse than it has accorded neighboring Sri Lanka Prime Minister Sirimavo Bandaranaike in a week. The South China Morning Post prints Peking-watcher stories written in Hong Kong by New York Times correspondents whose copy is cabled back after being edited in the United States. A Kuwaiti learns about political developments in Thailand from reports by a transnational' news agency based in New York. These are "information imbalances," the international media's latest cause for concern, a concept referring to the disequilibria in the structure of communication that result in the preponderance of Western, and specifically American, sources of information in the world today. The post-World War II enthusiasm for democratic principles, which caused the ideals of a free press to be enshrined almost univer- sally, has abated considerably in recent years.

  • Mobilising Pan African News Agency Participation in Global News Flow
    www.ijird.com January, 2014 Vol 3 Issue 1 ISSN 2278 – 0211 (Online) Mobilising Pan African News Agency Participation in Global News Flow Suleiman Hassan Biodun Department of Journalism Lagos State University School of Communication, Surulere, Lagos State, Nigeria William Adesoji Johnson Department of Media and Communication Studies Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria Babatunde Kamaldeen College of Communication and Information Technology Department of Mass Communication, Kwara State University, Nigeria Abstract: This is essentially an exploratory essay on the desirability of mobilizing Pan African News Agency participation in the present Global news flow. This paper explores the historical development of global news agencies, with emphasis on the Pan African News Agency. Attempts were made to examine the historical antecedents of the North-South Information dichotomy in post cold war era which was the off-shoot of the New World Information and Communication debate. In like manner, efforts made by various countries (especially countries in the Northern hemisphere) to correct the Global news imbalance were also analyzed. The paper concluded by proffering different strategies through which PANA could participate adequately in the global news flow. The strategies include but not limited to yearly payment of subscription by member countries for the effective funding of the agency; collective finance of African satellite by member countries; investment in science and technology; adequate funding of engineering and technical colleges in African countries; establishments and funding of science-oriented tertiary institutions in African countries; and allocation of 26% budget for educational sector in African countries. Key words: Mobilising, News Agency, Global, News Flow, Participation 1.

  • Carol Migdalovitz Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs Foreign Affairs, Trade, and Defense Division
    Order Code RS21855 Updated October 16, 2007 Greece Update Carol Migdalovitz Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs Foreign Affairs, Trade, and Defense Division Summary The conservative New Democracy party won reelection in September 2007. Kostas Karamanlis, its leader, remained prime minister and pledged to continue free-market economic reforms to enhance growth and create jobs. The government’s foreign policy focuses on the European Union (EU), relations with Turkey, reunifying Cyprus, resolving a dispute with Macedonia over its name, other Balkan issues, and relations with the United States. Greece has assisted with the war on terrorism, but is not a member of the coalition in Iraq. This report will be updated if developments warrant. See also CRS Report RL33497, Cyprus: Status of U.N. Negotiations and Related Issues, by Carol Migdalovitz. Government and Politics Prime Minister Kostas Karamanlis called for early parliamentary elections to be held on September 16, 2007, instead of in March 2008 as otherwise scheduled, believing that his government’s economic record would ensure easy reelection. In August, however, Greece experienced severe and widespread wildfires, resulting in 76 deaths and 270,000 hectares burned. The government attempted to deflect attention from what was widely viewed as its ineffective performance in combating the fires by blaming the catastrophe on terrorists, without proof, and by providing generous compensation for victims. This crisis came on top of a scandal over the state pension fund’s purchase of government bonds at inflated prices. Under these circumstances, Karamanlis’s New Democracy party’s (ND) ability to win of a slim majority of 152 seats in the unicameral 300-seat parliament and four more years in office was viewed as a victory.
