Books by Philo C. Wasburn

This book assembles what political scientists, sociologists, and communication analysts have learned in almost six decades of research on political socialization (the lifelong process by which we acquire political beliefs). It also explores how people develop political values, attitudes, identities, and behavioral dispositions.

This analysis compares US news reports on a variety of major political events with those produced by the media abroad. Different patterns of coverage are shown to reflect different political, economic and strategic interests of nations, historical contexts in which news was constructed, and more.

Today hundreds of millions of people throughout the world depend on international radio broadcasting for their understanding of national and international political affairs.
