The book provides development practitioners with an overview of the key policy and regulatory issues involved in supporting freedom of information and expression and enabling independent public service media. Country examples illustrate how these norms have been institutionalized in various contexts. 0aBroadcasting policy. 0aBroadcasting. 0aFreedom of speech.1 aBuckley, Steve,d1960 Jan. 24-2 aWorld Bank Group.413Table of contents onlyuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/fy0805/2008297302.html423Related website :uhttp://go.worldbank.org/W7PZU0XX30
