And participant in a number of conferences and symposia on mass communication, development, urban planning and Islam in Europe, USA , the Middle East and the Far East. (see Publications: Selective List Conference Papers & Panel Presentations, below for details.)

Publications:

I have been involved in the production of mass communication materials books, articles, reviews, advertising copy, newspaper editorials and columns, public relations hand-out, documentary film scripts, radio documentary interviews and special reports and "hard" news reporting for newspapers, news magazines, news agencies, radio and TV -- for some forty years.

Much of that work is not on hand for reference, or when available does not lend itself to easy reference due to the quantities involved.

I have therefore summarized frequently and have provided only a selective listing of publications or broadcasting media equivalents.
