Spanning several years of research, this book compares and
contrasts how public and commercial TV stations present foreign,
domestic, and hybrid news from a number of different countries. It
examines what viewers of television news think about foreign news,
their interest in it, and what sense they make of it. The book also
assesses what the gatekeepers of foreign news - journalists,
producers, and editors - think about what they produce, and about
their viewers. This book shows that while globalization is a
dominant force in society, and though news can be instantaneously
broadcast internationally, there is relatively little commonality
throughout the world in the depiction of events occurring in other
countries. Thus, contrary to McLuhan's famous but untested notion
of the "global village", television news in the countries discussed
in this book actually presents more variability than similarity.
The research gathered here is based on a quantitative content
analysis of over 17,000 news items and analysis of over 10,000
survey respondents. Seventeen countries are included in this
research, offering a rich comparative perspective on the topic.
