This chapter offers a reconsideration of the historic significance of the 1980 MacBride Report—UNESCO’s International Commission for the Study of Communication Problems: Many Voices, One World. The Report is argued to have embraced a spirit of hopefulness about possibilities for a better world, and the chapter highlights the importance of public institutions as means to ensure justice and the value of global communication as a means to generate knowledge, understanding, and mutual respect.
