Politics, the Press and the Third World

The unending controversy about what is news and how to report it, reflecting basically different philosophies in the West and in the Third World, is admirably described and analysed in these two books. Righter`s is the better organized and better written, while the Horton volume, the result of a conference of journalists held in 1977, contains a rich variety of views.

WHOSE NEWS?
`The traditional, or `western` concept of a free press is based on the premise that an open, democratic society requires a freely informed public to function effectively. ... The press gathers and sifts the raw material of infor-mation which enables people to form their judgments. It informs, it monitors the performance of those in au-thority, and it `reminds the powers that be, corrupt and venal as they always are, of the forces they have to control."
`Third World leaders argue that human rights-when over three hundred million people still suffer from acute malnutrition and eight hundred million are illiterate-must be seen as essentially corporate and material. Again, they argue that it is more important for their post-colonial societies to find a national voice, than to encourage the assertion of individual identity and the freedoms of dissent.`
