	Newsletter Vol. 11 No. 2: Communication, Development and Education: Some Linkages
		In the early 60s, the classic "communication and development" paradigm supported the belief that the more mass media communication a society is engaged in, the more developed it was or would become.
		This model would need to be supported by a communication perspective, based on participatory approaches, enabling the rural and the disadvantaged to create their own messages, to speak for themselves, as well as to be spoken to.
		Specialized training for communicators, including agricultural extension and frontline development workers, as well as journalists, is increasingly being integrated in such projects, to ensure that desired information, which is culturally-sensitive and audience-specific is created, with the participation of the relevant "target" communities.

		NGO workers, preferably from the area where the community lives and works, or possessing a good appreciation for the life and challenges of the people, and able to speak their language, visit the community with no aim except to introduce the NGO to the people and to meet members of the community.
		The term "participatory communication" is used to describe processes of two-way communication that encourage dialogue centered on problem analysis, people communicating with one another to search for solutions to their problems, and bottom-up communication that raises the awareness of decision-makers to those problems (Bessette, 1996).
		Development communication practitioners are often the first to criticize projects that attempt to transfer technology, such as irrigation infrastructure, to developing country recipients without their participatory involvement.

	The Development of Communication Networks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		It has developed from something known only to big organizations where heavy data processing (for that time) on big computers was their main task, to a widespread tool, used in any office and many houses, to connect smaller and stronger computers to many types of communication networks.
		Communication extensions are found in any computer and communication equipment and software are more widely distributed throughout a population, enabling easy information exchange between stations on different sides of a room or on different sides of the world.
		Today, Communication Networks enable organizations to build their networks on the basis of LANs, WANs or a combination of them, in order to satisfy all of the organization's communication demands.

	MSc Communication for Development (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Rapid developments in communications technology and infrastructure are driving new agendas among development agencies for "knowledge transfer" and the use of information to support improvements in governance and access to opportunities for secure livelihoods.
		There is a need within the development community for a soundly based understanding of communication processes and issues so that they can plan, manage, monitor and evaluate information and knowledge interventions.
		The programme is particularly relevant for development professionals with responsibilities for communication, knowledge management and "knowledge transfer" functions, media professionals intending to move into development support communications and those intending to proceed to a higher degree by research in communication for development.

	Relationship Development - Interpersonal Communication Context
		The model of relational development is an explanation put into stages that identifies and develops understanding about the communication experiences that interpersonal communicators experience in terms of changes in intimacy levels.
		In terms of reality, the Relational Development Model is more of a scientific theory because it corresponds to the idea that there is one reality which is followed in a precise pattern by progressing through the steps.
		The model of relational development is critically a more vague theory, partly because it is a model rather than a theory.
