Proceedings of CIBAR Cologne conference - "Impressive gathering of expertise"

Audience research is a key player in the media system. This applies to international broadcasting in particular. Methods and topics of international audience research are diverse, and its challenges numerous, but easily accessible literature is rare.

"An Essential Link With Audiences Worldwide: Research For International Broadcasting" documents the 16th annual conference of CIBAR that was held in Cologne in November 2000. Experienced experts give first-hand accounts of their work and show perspectives for the future.

Addressing an international readership, all articles are in English with German summaries.

The Channel (Vol. 5, no. 3, April 2002) wrote: "... [an] impressive gathering of expertise... There is much to learn about audiences for international radio and television in this helpful compendium, into which you can dip for nuggets of fascinating information, or which you can study in depth for a more profound understanding of the global audience in its many aspects."
