[...] unlike the Egyptian movement, many of the founding generation of the Muslim Brothers leaders in Syria were themselves 'ulama or belonged to 'ulama families.14 This was typically the case with Siba'i (1915-1964), scion of a religious family from Horns who graduated from al-Azhar.\n90 Bashar al-Asad's total rejection of the Muslim Brothers' overtures led Bayanuni to a change of strategy, but not of his basic democratic commitment.

In Germany, the U.S. Army and the Office of Military Government U.S. (OMGUS) exerted rigorous control over the media to block Nazi propaganda and introduce the American political agenda of democratization.1 With the emergence of the cold war, OMGUS used all the avenues of mass communication and cultural affairs-newspapers, journals, feature and documentary films, posters, and radio-to disseminate U.S. strategic propaganda and messages to the German people. Neue Zeitung became a mouthpiece for OMGUS to counteract Soviet propaganda in occupied Germany.8 By early 1947, ICD personnel had changed, and the original press officers had been replaced by cold war warriors.9 As a result, most publications that did not follow OMGUS's anti-Communist directives were either terminated or had their ed...

The four theories of the press have long dominated in journalism education and research and arguably do a good job of describing media systems in the West. However, it is hard to fit Asian media systems into the existing theories. This paper re-examines the four press theories and identifies the difficulties in using the theories as a guide to understand media systems in Asia. The purpose of this paper is to raise issues with the applicability of the theories in an Asian media context and explore a new paradigm, which would bring in cultural values from both the East and the West.
