Nwico !

NWICO was created by UNESCO as a way for less powerful countries not to fall by damaging media claims and also a way to allow equal access to the media for all countries, regardless of financial standing. This was also a way to combat the problem that the media focuses, and gives more attention to more powerful countries and the less developed countries see nothing. This was a way to control the media. “Tunis, March 1976: the Non-Aligned Symposium on Information prepares a programme for safeguarding national cultures and overcoming global imbalances in information flows and communication systems in order to ‘obtain the decolonization of information and initiate a new international order in information’. (Padovani & Nordenstreng, 2005) This was the description and noted purpose of the creation and implementation of the NWICO as stated from the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) Summit in Algiers in 1973.
The United States was a superpower that was very against the implementation of the New World Information and Communication Order. They felt this order would very much go against the “free speech” amendment that is written in the US constitution. The US believed “…the proposed "New World Information and Communication Order" (NWICO) would encourage Third World governments to impose restrictions on the Western press and endorse the notion that governments have a right to control the flow of information for their own ends.” (Farley, 1985)
I believe the implementation of NWICO would be a very bad this for the future of developing countries. This bill affects people and their freedom of speech which is viewed as a negative outcome in this proposition. If this bill had passed, I believe there would be vast amounts of negative information flowing into these third world countered that would negatively affect their growth and development. Overall, the NWICO is a negative bill that would do more harm than good.
