P. Dwivedi and J. Nef described two decades of failure by development administration to solve problems of the Third World. They noted shortcomings of emphasis on modernization through transfer of technology. Looking forward, they suggested that the Third Development Decade must change its focus and strategy to include key goals such as: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>   Self-reliance  <\/li>\n<li>   Human needs (food, habitat, health and education)  <\/li>\n<li>   Social justice  <\/li>\n<li>   Removal of poverty  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>  Today, what might we add, delete, or refine in relation to these goals for strengthening approaches to economic and social development?

He expressed this advice to agricultural journalists: <\/p>\n<p>  \u201cOne of the things that strikes me most of all is how broad the communications gap is between what farming is really about and what people think farming is about. And that\u2019s one of the reasons why people fall into this chasm and end up being paranoid and fearful about the way their food is produced. I think agricultural journalists need to be better informed about agriculture when they write for the mainstream audience. So those involved in the technical farming press are those who also need to be writing for the mainstream audience.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>  You can read more from this Q-A interview with  <em>   Better Farming  <\/em>  field editor Mary Baxter at:  <a href=\"http:\/\/j-source.ca\/article\/what-happens-when-journalists-become-story-qa-science-writer-mark-lynas\">   http:\/\/j-source.ca\/article\/what-happens-when-journalists-become-story-qa-science-writer-mark-lynas  <\/a> <\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>  <strong>   Big rural-urban gap in home computers and internet use in China  <\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>  The gap was apparent in a study reported by Qingbin Wang and Minghao Li in a 2012 issue of  <em>   First Monday  <\/em>  journal.
