It is reported that a new international information order is being constructed in the U.S. It is very different from the publicly controlled one Third World nations have sought, which has been bitterly attacked by the U.S. media. Instead of equal access to information and greater participation in the production of messages, there is a growing concentration of capital and resources in the U.S., the dominant center of the world communications network. Powerful U.S. corporations have undertaken an ambitious set of initiatives that will enable them to retain and perhaps extend their worldwide advantage.
