Media Asia, 1989

This paper presents a survey of the mass communication scene of Asia and the Pacific for the past 25 years. It examines recent trends and developments towards big business journalism, tighter and less discernible governmental controls, more indigenization of mass communications contents, regionalization of news, greater technology and innovative work in education and research. JOHN A. LENT W hen I arrived in Manila 25 years ago to start a Fulbright research project, little did I realize that during the next 14 months, I would witness transformations that irrevocably altered Asian mass communication. Participating in seminars of the newly-formed Philippine Press Institute, I did not anticipate that the topics and strategies discussed were the foundation of what became known as development journalism, eventually to be placed on the agendas of supranational and national groups worldwide. Listening to Asian editors at an International Press Institute (IPI)-sponsored meeting lament that they did not have an effective regional news agency, I could not have known that their concerns about news flow would be universal among Third World countries a decade hence. Observing the computerization at Asahi Shimbun and elsewhere in Tokyo, I did not envision that within two decades, mass media throughout Asia would be heavily committed to information technology of satellites, computers, teletext, video, or cable, for in 1964-65, the revolutionary technology was the transistorized radio. Hovering about the national convention that ushered Ferdinand Marcos into the presidency, I would not have predicted a 20-year tenure (no other Philippine president had ever been elected to even a second term), nor the devastating media Dr John A. Lent is Professor at Temple University and has a long list of publications to his credit. He is Director of Third World Media Associates, a research group focusing on developing countries.

The International Journal of Communication (IJoC) continues its successful progress, more than fulfilling the hopes that we had when we launched the journal in 2007. One of our goals was to demonstrate that an online-only, open access, Creative Commons licensed publication could manifest the highest standards of scholarly publishing. We believe that we have succeeded in meeting this goal, as evidenced by the growing number of submissions, the quality of the work that we publish, the generous cooperation of literally scores of colleagues around the world who assist us by reviewing articles, the large numbers of readers who visit our site, and, certainly not least, by the decision of the major social science indexing services-Thompson Reuters, EBSCO, and Elsevier, among others-to index our content. In brief, our numbers speak for themselves: IJoC has received submissions from 69 countries. For 2012, the top countries of origin are the United States (45%), India (8%), Spain (3%), China (2%), South Korea (2%), Germany (2%), Iran (2%), and the Netherlands (2%). Other countries from which we have received multiple submissions include Australia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Sweden, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. The number of IJoC visitors and registered users has steadily increased. At the end of our first year, we had 1,481 registered users. This number has increased each year of publication-to 2,404 by the

Journal of East Asian Libraries, 1985

The growth of widespread academic interest in Asia and the geographical dispersion of area studies specialists in recent years have made it increasingly difficult for faculty members, students, independent researchers and librarians alike to keep themselves fully informed of relevant professional activities occurring outside of their immediate communities. While the traditional "grapevine" mode of communication remains important, the desirability of having more systematic channels for disseminating and exchanging information has become widely recognized. One form of response to this perceived need has been the proliferation of newsletter-type publications, particularly in North America but also in Europe, Australia, and several countries of Asia. As Gerald J. Telkamp wrote in 1981,
