This paper discusses global media and telecommunications and examines the changing balance of public and private control over media and telecommunications in the global political economy. It examines the patterns of concentration and investment in the overall communication sector and possibilities for improving the contribution of media and telecommunications to development in different parts of the world. The authors conclude with some general proposals on how media, telecommunications and new information technologies could be more systematically used to improve the situation of disadvantaged groups and nations.
