The ‘MacBride Report’ was published under the title:

A commission’s report is cited by the title its authors chose, and that title compresses the commission’s central thesis. The New World Information and Communication Order (NWICO) debate rested on one such thesis: global news and information flowed overwhelmingly outward from a handful of dominant agencies, so a fairer order would require many independent sources of expression coexisting within one shared world communication system.

UNESCO set up the International Commission for the Study of Communication Problems in 1977, chaired by Seán MacBride, the Irish jurist and Nobel Peace laureate. Its final report, submitted in 1980 and universally referred to as the MacBride Report, was published under the title “Many Voices, One World”, carrying the fuller subtitle “Towards a New, More Just and More Efficient World Information and Communication Order”.

The title states that thesis directly: “many voices” names the plurality of independent sources the commission wanted protected, and “one world” names the single shared communication order within which that plurality was to operate.

Contrasting the near-miss phrasings:

• “Suppressed voices, Dominant world.” — reads the situation only as silencing by a dominant centre; the commission did diagnose imbalance, but built its recommendation around plurality rather than around suppression.

• “United voices, Third world.” — collapses the plurality into one collective bloc voice and narrows the scope to the Third World, whereas the commission’s frame is explicitly global.

• “Other voices, Developing world” — places the non-Western world outside the mainstream as an “other”, which is the reverse of the one-world framing the commission adopted.

So the MacBride Report was published as “Many Voices, One World” (UNESCO, 1980).
