Health Communication in the Changing Media Landscape*
Perspectives from Developing Countries (edited)
by RAVINDRA KUMAR VEMULA & SUBBA RAO M GAVARAVARAPU

This book advances new understandings of how technologies have been 
harnessed to improve the health of populations; whether the technologies 
really empower those who use information by providing them with a choice 
of information; how they shape health policy discourses; how the health 
information relates to traditional belief systems and local 
philosophies; the implications for health communicators; how certain 
forms of silence are produced when media articulates and problematizes 
only a few health issues and sidelines others; and much more. The book 
brings together current research and discussions on the three areas of 
policy, practices and theoretical perspectives related to health 
communication approaches in developing countries, presenting 
well-researched and documented essays that will prove helpful for 
academic and scholarly inquiry in this area.
