The role of print in serving the poor majority populations in the developing world is explored through discussions of (1) a rural Ghanian newspaper, the "Densu Times," (2) a popular French language magazine entitled "Famille et Developpement," published in Senegal, West Africa for change agents, (3) a series of cloth posters for classroom use in Africa, and (4) the "Moalboal Times," a community run, daily, blackboard newspaper in the Philippines. Also included in this issue are two reports from the September 1977 Dartington conference on distance education for rural development. (STS)
