We have been publishing without interruptin since 1981 and our topics include developments in the cultural and communications industries in the region, new trends in alternative or community media, analysis and proposals of media policies in the region, the role of media in political developments, among many others. In fact Chasqui is a journal on Latin American affairs for students and researchers working on regional issues and international relations. I am requesting articles for our next issue to be published in October 1993. Our central topic will be Public and Educational Radio and Television Networks in the Industrialized countries particularly, in the US, Canada, Australia, UK, Denmark, Sweden and Germany. Background. Latin American countries are going through a period of radical transformation in their media legislation, property structures, and relations with regional and national governments. Alternative, comunity or popular media is searching for ways to survive in an unfriendly economic and political environment. In all countries scholrs and professionals are looking for models of systems in which the national, state, and local government may join with private sector sponsors, listeners, and NGO's to create networks of educational, cultural and community radio and tv stations. The process is seen as part of ongoing democratization of the market, society and the political system. The industrialized countries of north America, Europe and Asia have built such systems of public service media over the past decades with different initial objectives and different achievements. We want to devote most of our next two issues to a critical review of these systems. The articles would be aimed at readers generally unfamiliar with media in the countries studied. The articles must be submitted to Chasqui by August 15, 1993 by fax, e-mail, or ordinary or express mail. The articles should be about 2400 words. Longer essays will be considered but may be edited down if needed. Articles may be submitted in English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese or Italian. They will be translated for publication in Spanish. Also we are interested to learn of availability of essays or papers in other topics related to international telecommunications, academic/ research/other conferences, hotlines, new tecnologies, libraries virtual and otherwise, role of media in political developments in Latin America, media and development, media and education, etcetera. If you intend to present an article please indicate so ahead of time: length, one paragraph description, estimated date of transmittal/arrival, and a few lines on your professional background. Subscriptions are available for US$ 40, 72 and 96 for 1, 2, or 3 years. We are also offering complete collections (46 issues) at US$10.00 per issue for reference and specialized libraries.
