Reseaux

This journal serves the important function of providing access, for those who do not read French, to communication research and debates about communications in the Francophone world. This is important because of the value of the contributions in their own right, but also because the study of communications raises, with increasing insistence the question of cultural relativity and of the relation, within an increasingly global sphere of communication and culture, of differing cultural traditions and their development. This issue of "Reseaux" looks at a range of topics, including: socio-technological action and frame of reference; journalists and intellectuals - a new cultural configuration?; business messaging on hold?; and the Internet and the meltdown of audiotex and videotex in Europe.
