Development Communication: Reframing the Role of the Media

"I think that this book offers an astute look at how the field of development communication has changed over time and why it has so much potential as a tool in development. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found it very helpful in developing my understanding of the past, present, and future of the field of development communication." (Canadian Journal of Communication, 2011)

"It fills the need for a readable approach to decades of development history, and gives a range of issues that any student of development communication should know, with thoughtful contexts and case studies designed to stimulate discussion." (European Journal of Communication, July 2010)

"Development Communication is a welcome addition to the growing literature in development communication, especially the chapters on digital divide and feminism in a post-development era.   This book is compulsory reading for everybody interested in development communication."--Srinivas R. Melkote, Bowling Green State University

"McPhail has put together another thought-provoking book. Development Communication is essential reading for anyone interested in social change in today's globalized world."  --George Barnett, University of Buffalo
