Bibliographic Guide to Caribbean Mass Communication - Bibliographies and Indexes in Mass Media and Communications John Lent Annotated Edition

Publisher Marketing: This is an international survey of all types of literature on mass communication in the Caribbean region, presenting 3695 citations. The book is organised by regions, divided by the nations' ties to a metropolitan power. Countries such as the Dominican Republic and Haiti, with longer histories of independence are listed separately. (The vast reservoirs of data on Cuban mass communication necessitated a separate volume.) Topically, the chapters are divided into possible categories of general studies, advertising, broadcasting, development communication, film, freedom of the press, history of media, journalism education and training, news agencies, popular culture, print media and telecommunications.
