Critical Communication
With that out of the way, we can talk about this book.From the beginning, in the preface, Mosco alerts us that his memoir is different from others: shorter, to avoid overwriting and bloating with details; generous, in that, as he writes, "it is not my intention to settle scores, pick fights, or dress up my life with the lurid details that might briefly enliven the text only to diminish the more core of the story" (xxi); and structured, around the…

Asian Popular Culture in Transition
Since its inception, mobile telephony and all it ensues has gained attention due to the massive impact it has had on the organization of daily life as well as on popular and youth cultures. However, the phenomenon is more complex than many perceive. In the context of recent critical discussions on neoliberal capitalism, there are other contemporary sociopolitical issues at stake around the mobile telephone, especially in relevant social formation…

The global cartooning labour force, its problems and coping mechanisms
Cartoonists, whether print or film, have faced dismal working experiences historically and globally. At times, they have been denied credit for and ownership of their creations, were paid poorly, and laboured under insecure, strenuous, and isolated circumstances. They have also faced the wrath of oppressive governments, political correctness gone awry, and conglomerate takeovers of cartooning/animation industries, with resultant self-censorship, …

Local comic books and the curse of Manga in Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan
The comic book industries of the East Asian countries of Hong Kong, South Korea, and Taiwan have long contended with the inroads made by Japanese manga. These have included dwarfing the sales of domestic comics and affecting the styles of local cartoonists. Yet, despite these and other formidable problems, comics thrive in each country largely through risky manoeuvres such as the creation of new genres, the conversion from rental to sales markets…

Who Owns Caribbean Mass Media
The media are a form of popular cultural expression but in the present context of media conglomerates, the print and electronic media become forces of subtle and overt control and orientation of popular expression. This question is somewhat more complex in the Third World where the huge foreign and domestic corporations that control media monopolies are often closely linked with former colonial powers. They operate alongside local private entitie…

Mass Media and Socialist Governments in the Commonwealth Caribbean
Three Commonwealth Caribbean states have adopted socialist governments in the past decade; Guyana, Jamaica, and Grenada. These states have witnessed a number of difficulties in government-media relationships. Most of the problems were generated by the governments; however, some resulted from the fundamental distrust of socialism on the part of the conservative media which are tied to big business interests. In a few instances the problems were at…

The Perpetual See-Saw
Freedom of the press in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand) faces serious threats at the advent of the 1980s, as governments promote development communication and redefine older concepts such as freedom and democracy. More often than not, officialdom has taken the previously meritorious notion of development journalism (reporting impartially on a nation's development) an…

Freedom of Press in East Asia
The eight nations of East Asia, representing the bulk of the population, land and resources of the continent, have had a long history of political turmoil, attested to by two governments each claiming to be China and Korea. Resulting from these conflicts have been a number of authoritarian governments, ranging from Taiwan and South Korea to the Communist states of China, North Korea and the Mongolian People's Republic. Two other states, Hong Kong…
