New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO) and World Communication Problem: a Proposal to the Nigerian Government Stephen Kenechukwu Department of Mass Communication Madonna University Okija, Anambra State, Abstract Communication is fundamental to human existence and helps to dene a given race and people. Pathetically, information is not evenly distributed as the West has control of global media. The result is that the developing nations depend wholly or partially on the media of developed nations for information. This paper clearly looks at the nature of communication imbalance and tries to nd out the role of New World Information and Communication Order (NIWCO) in ensuring balance in information ow. The paper attempts to explain the concept of ethno- communicology and by extension, the villagisation of the media. This concept holds the idea that Africans can design their own media system, form and technology in order to export their indigenous communication and ways of life. The paper argues that besides implementing the tenets of NWICO through the use of modern technology, there is still need to employ traditional means of communication in turning developing nations into media-creators rather than media-consumers. The study equally proffered some recommendations on the way forward. Keywords: New World Information, Communication Order, Ethnocommunicology, Villiagisation, Information.
