Providing the first comprehensive coverage of media assistance programs, Kumar discusses the evolution, focus, and overall impact of a range of intervention strategies. He also presents seven in-depth case studies based on extensive USAID-sponsored fieldwork; here he examines the context, accomplishments, and failures of efforts in Afghanistan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Central America, Indonesia, Russia, Serbia, and Sierra Leone. A concluding chapter summarizes the findings of the study and suggests their important implications for international media assistance UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781626370111 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781626370111 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781626370111/original ER -
