TITLE: Policy Dialog on the Right of Everyone in Hawaii to
Communicate: An Informal Report by and for the Dialog
Participants. Communication in Hawaii Series Report Number
2.
YEAR PUBLISHED: 1976
NOTE: 74 p.; Developed from the Right of Everyone in Hawaii
to Communicate Dialog Sessions held in March and April,
1976 in Hawaii
ABSTRACT: In this informal report, all but a few of the
pages were written after the dialog sessions of March and
April 1976, held on four of the Hawaiian Islands--Kauai,
Oahu, Maui, and Hawaii. All of the selections were written
by participants in the dialogs. The task of the dialog
sessions was to build an understanding of the specific
implications of an emerging right-to-communicate policy in
Hawaii. This document contains a discussion of the dialog
topic and descriptive reports of each of the sessions held,
with lists of key persons, of participating organizations,
and of policy issues. Some of the policy issues discussed
are as follows: Are students and new immigrants taught
adequate formal communication skills in schools? How can
community groups and individuals gain access to the news
media? How can a community maintain its cultural diversity
and pluralism through development of communication rights?
How can people be motivated to provide more citizen input
at state and local government hearings? (JM)
