| Abstract | In South Asia (the land mass that includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and the island nation Sri Lanka), college-level programs in journalism and communication, which can help developing nations to promote social change and to improve societal living standards, have not progressed with media growth. The reasons for journalism/communication education's poor progress in South Asian universities are discussed in this paper. Analysis of data from a 1976 survey of the region's universities indicates that the few programs currently offering instruction in journalism and communication are heavily literary, linguistic, and theoretical, that they have no sociological orientation, and that they are of very little practical use for social development. A plea is made for the acceptance of communication as a social science discipline in all colleges and universities in the region, stressing the important role communication can play in social change and national development. Data from the survey and other statistical resources are appended. (Author/RL) |
