Four Western press agencies, together with the Soviet press agency TASS, have a virtual monopoly on the gathering and dissemination of international news. These agencies to a large extent determine the nature of information originating in foreign countries that reaches the peoples of the world through newspapers, radio and television. / This information monopoly by itself indesirable, is particularly harmful to the developing nations that often have non independent means of obtaining information about events occurring in other countries. / The "New World Order of Information and Communication" (N.W.O.I.C.) that has emerged from deliberations among the non-aligned nations and in UNESCO represents an attempt to change this situation. This thesis analyses: the impact of the current situation on the developing nations; the modus operandi and the legal regime of the international press organizations; and the salient features of N.W.O.I.C.
