- Title
Selling Democracy and Press Freedom to the Third World.
- Authors
Freije, Vanessa
- Abstract
The article argues that Southern advocacy for media sovereignty pushed the U.S. government to redouble its international efforts to define liberal democracy as inextricable from privately-owned media. Topics discussed include reason the U.S. announced its intention to leave the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in December 1983, contradictory U.S. stance on press freedom exposed by Southern advocacy for information sovereignty, and U.S. proxy organizations that campaigned against the New International Information Order (NIIO).
