E、cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0> We are told that the mass media are the greatest organs for enlightenment that the world has yet seen; that inBritain, for instance, several million people see each issue of the current affairs program. PanoramA、It is true that never in human history were so many people so often and so much exposed to many intimations about societies, forms of life, attitudes other than those which they obtain in their local societies.
