Description
1. Introduction I preface this review by reminding readers that COMMUNICATION RESEARCH TRENDS last broached a similar topic in Volume 25, No. 2 (Srampickal, 2006). Much has happened during this interval, not the least of which is the promulgation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by the united Nations in 2000 and their restatement in 2005. (See box on page 5 for a list of the MDGs.) Some may believe that these MDGs are just words, wishful thinking, but I would argue that they express not only ideals of the world's community of nations, but also consist of statements of concrete and measurable goals and challenges to action for eliminating the worst of human injustices. This review will try to examine the Communication for Development and Social Change literature (C4D as an abbreviation from now on) in the first decade of this new millennium and relate it to the MDGs.
