New World Informations and Communication Order

Overview
The New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO or NWIO) is a term coined in a debate over media representations of the developing world in UNESCO in the late 1970s early 1980s. The term was widely used by the MacBride Commission, a UNESCO panel chaired by Nobel Peace Prize laureate Seán MacBride, which was charged with creation of a set of recommendations to make global media representation more equitable. The MacBride Commission produced a report titled "Many Voices, One World", which outlined the main philosophical points of the New World Information Communication Order.
