Notes:
Via BBC World Service - Communication, Media and Development Policy. 5 pages., Author urges change in the approach to development rather than assume that an infusion of good communication would enhance development. "..the heart and soul seems to have seeped out of the development world - it has, without doubt turned into a giant business governed at a corporate level with mind-numbing rules and regulations. There remains little room for creativity and innovation - in our mind a hallmark of good development."
