Abstract: In this article, the concept of the free flow of information is regarded from the point of view of the receiving countries—largely the developing countries—and their leaders, with special reference to the printed media. It is suggested that there is great concern and fear among the leaders of de veloping nations lest, in laying themselves open to international news, information, and entertainment in a period of intense effort at modernization and social change, they invite—as a by-product of such communication—alien and undesirable influ ences on their people. In the virtually one-way flow of infor mation, it is also suggested that there is reason for concern on the part of the industrially advanced countries which are the main feeders of the international channels of communication.
