    • Abstract:
      The article presents a study which investigated the fundamental relationships among the variables associated with press freedom. The data used were collected from 137 countries at four points in time-1950, 1960, 1965 and 1966. Results revealed that there is a moderate support for some of the causal relations suggested in the theoretical model of press freedom development. The study suggested that growth of mass communication is significant to the development of the government and to greater freedom of expression.
