Despite the advent of globalisation and increasing interaction
between people from different cultures, many people still are
influenced in their opinion about people from other countries based
on what they read, see or hear in the mass media. By investigating
how newspapers report about deaths in their foreign news sections,
this book provides an in-depth account of the journalistic
decision-making behind the portrayal of people from other
countries. Although there have been a few studies that examined
news coverage of foreign death to some extent, this particular
study presents the first comprehensive analysis of the topic. The
book examines how newspapers in Australia and Germany decide on
which foreign deaths to cover and, employing an innovative
framework, it finds that cultural connections play a large part in
the decision-making process. Differences between the newspapers in
terms of linguistic and visual coverage of fatal events can also be
traced along cultural lines. The book will be useful to students of
journalism, international and intercultural communication as well
as anyone interested in discourses about death in the public
sphere.
