This inductive study investigates the "curricula" of ten different
news organizations from seven different countries that produced
news in four languages on the Darfur uprising in Western Sudan: the
New York Times, the Washington Post, France's Le Monde, the UK's
Guardian, BBC.co.uk, Egypt's Al-Ahram, South Africa's Mail &
Guardian Online, English.AlJazeera.Net, and China's People's Daily
and China Daily. Mody and her collaborators show how news
organizations uniquely and strategically constructed a foreign
event for a particular intended audience based on national
historical solidarity with global North or South power blocs,
current national interest in the country, ownership of the news
organization, and the political-linguistic constituency of the
intended audience. While previous research on the role of national
interest and ownership are supported in this study, the influence
of the intended audience (namely, foreign or domestic) on the
design of news is a new contribution to the field. Conceptualizing
foreign news as perhaps the only means of cross-national,
continuing education, Mody uses comprehensiveness as an evaluative
measure of news. The Geopolitics of Representation in Foreign News
provides unique insights that will be of particular interest to
those researchers working in the field of international journalism.
