International Broadcasting, one of the main arms of Mass Communication, has come with its unique goals and features. Among these are, to enhance national or organizational prestige, promote national interests, for ideological purpose, political indoctrination or propagation of religious beliefs, to foster cultural ties and for public diplomacy.
