Much of the emphasis in journalism is found in human interest stories and one criticism voiced very often is that the steel frame of economic development and development in general is neglected by the fourth estate. This focused publication attempts to answer this criticism by defining and describing the design and purpose of Developmental Journalism. Students and practising journalists as well as other newspersons will find the material presented here of particular interest to their profession as it includes a study of the treatment of developmental journalism by leading national newspapers.
