towards a negotiable definition of propaganda for international agreements related to direct broadcasting | jon t. powell, 1982

and for sure one shouldn't leave out the following doc in this regard: a summary about warc (world administrative radio conference)
warc-79

generally, fas/ota archive appears to be a nice source for getting an idea what and how devs. have been discussed in the usa academic/policy circles.

seems in the 80s maritime/space law have been the role model in this debate, while today we are back to domestic viewpoints, are we?

the primary might be an explanation why many telco/surveillance laws were negotiated for a long time under "fishing rights". no conspiracy, as some suggested, just the right place for international treaties, if one follows that notion.
