It explores the traditional rol of the international news agencies, government control of the news and harassment of journalists, and also the advantages to governments of tolerating occasional adverse reporting and comment, domestically and abroad. The press analysis presented in thes work will contribute significantly to the thinking of those who wonder why a plitical, economic and cultural system so condemnable and so often condemned continues to survive in a world where justice, human rights and the right of peoples to self-determination are recognized and proclaimed by the most authoritative institutions, boht national and international.
