Tracking the Flow of Information.

Pool, Ithiel de Sola

Science, v221 n4611 p609-13 Aug 12 1983

By using words transmitted and words attended to as common denominators, novel indexes were constructed of growth trends in 17 major communications media from 1960-1977. Findings from these indexes (intended to measure trends in the development of an information society) are presented as well as explanations for what has been found. (Author/JN)
