Reaching Audiences Worldwide.
Perspectives of International Broad-
casting and Audience Research.

(= CIBAR Proceedings, Vol. 1)

Bonn: CIBAR, 2003, 131 pages,
in English



This book is a selection of presentations held at annual meetings of CIBAR, the "Conference of International Broadcasters' Audience Research Services", in Washington, D.C. (2001) and Stockholm (2002). Both these conferences took place in the aftermath of '9/11' and under the impression of an ever-growing number of technological innovations - developments on a global scale that international broadcasting research must reflect. This is the first title published in the association's Proceedings series.

From back cover:

How to reach audiences abroad? International and intercultural communication, aiming at bridging gaps and promoting mutual understanding between nations and cultures, are at the heart of global broadcasting. Methods and topics of international audience research are diverse, its challenges numerous. In this book experts give first-hand accounts of their work.
