        labor, culture based work ethic.

        GOALS OF POLICIES, PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS IN COMMUNICATION
        FOR DEVELOPMENT
        E.g. What kind of communication information, to what ends?

        modernization or raising consciousness? With or for whom: the
        masses, a sector, a region, a particular caste or class,
        gender or individuals, the World Bank or IMF's structural
        adjustment programs.

        State or market. Competition or monopoly. Public or private.
        Professional training and values.

        MEDIA TECHNOLOGY
        E.g. Determinant or enabler? Neutral, ambivalent or
        biased? Imported or domestic KNOW-HOW? The role of indigenous
        R&D. Alternative paradigms of info-comm technology use for
        development: the strengths and limitations of the Information
        Society. The internet, cellular telephony and the poor. The
        social shaping of technology over time.

        E.g. local or foreign? What formats and topics? The
        combination of news, education and entertainment.
