ABSTRACT
How a nation's broadcasting system should be organized depends on what one wants that society to be. Electronic communications are the nervous system of a modern society. They are bound to both reflect and shape people's lives, relations with each other and with their government. Thus, in order to consider alternative ways in which a broadcasting system might be financed, governed and internally organized one ought to start by considering how broadcasting relates to the plural social groups that make up the society, what they believe, what other modes of communications are available to them, and what are their development goals.
