Abstract

Mongolia is located just north of China and south of eastern Russia. The country is occupies 1.565 million square miles (CIA) yet is home to a small population of about 2.7 million Mongolians. Mongolians are a nomadic people by tradition and nearly half of the population still practices this lifestyle. From 1921 until 1990 Mongolia was ruled under a communist form of government. This fact had a huge impact on the way new communication and media technologies were implemented in Mongolia’s public. This paper will first attempt to give an accurate description of historical communication and media advances in Mongolia and will then describe the current state of communication and media technology and its primary uses in Mongolia today. The paper will conclude with a description of where Mongolian technology and media seems to be headed in the future.
