The Committee rec¬\nommended UNESCO enter the TV field because of\nthe widespread influence TV was gaining and its\npossibilities of serving the cause of world peace.\nUNESCO is now serving as a clearing house for\nTV information, promoting the use of TV for\neducational purposes, and promoting international co¬\noperation among TV organizations and producers or\ndistributors of educational films. It also assists\ncountries planning or starting TV broadcasting and\npromotes the production of TV programs on\nUNESCO and UN teams.\nIn short, UNESCO serves as a world source of\nTV information, as a source of ideas about its cultural\nor educational use, and as a source of material for\ncultural program production.\nAWARDS\n► Two educational broadcasting stations won the\nAlfred P.
