1. THE RIGHT TO COMMUNICATE: TOWARDS EXPLICIT RECOGNITION
Since the adoption in 1948 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), several global developments have prompted a re-examination of the whole of communication in society. Together, these global developments move towards the right to communicate.
INTERMEDIA (November 2001 / Volume 29/ No. 5/6)
2. THE YEAR AFTER A BAD YEAR
Last year was a disaster for the Internet industry in Greater China. Could 2002 possibly be worse, or has the market gone as low as it can go?
COMPUTER WORLD (14 December, 2001)
3. GLOBAL SLUMP BLOWS ILL WIND FOR PRINT TITLES
It was a year of closures, downsizing and reduced ad pages for Asia\'s print media players, buffeted by the twin disasters of a global slowdown and the terrorist attacks on the US. But then, few expected to match last year\'s outrageous performance after the bottom fell out of the dotcom and telecom industries.

4. TICKERS AND BUGS: HAS TV GOTTEN WAY TOO GRAPHIC?
Computer age brings in \"non-linear television experience\". It\'s TV as a Web page, which has always been about bombarding the Net surfer with as much information as possible, packaged in boxes, columns and scrolls. Such on-screen visuals are getting more complicated and more integrated with TV viewing experience over time.
BROADCASTING & CABLE (December, 2001)
5. PAY TO PLAY
Welcome to the post-Napster era of rent-a-tune, when music is leased instead of bought, and when every recording, from guitars to chamber emsembles, comes with strings attached. Along with new copy-protection schemes for audio CDs, the recording industry is attempting to change the rules for listening legitimately purchased music.
