The third section is devoted to the psychology and sociology of the audience. The fourth section on ?The Effects of the Mass Media? and the fifth on ?Media and Development? deal with audience behaviour and the concept of development well supported by research studies? The book meets its objective of being a textbook as well as a book that gives an overview of mass communication in India.? ? Dr. J.
