Despite the importance of foreign news, its history, transformation
and indeed its future have not been much studied. The scholarly
community often calls attention to journalism's shortcomings
covering the world, yet the topic has not been systematically
examined across countries or over time. The need to redress this
neglect and the desire to assess the impact of new media
technologies on the future of journalism - including foreign
correspondence - provide the motivation for this stimulating,
exciting and thought-provoking book. While the old economic models
supporting news have crumbled in the wake of new media
technologies, these changes have the potential to bring new and
improved ways to inform people of foreign news. In an increasingly
globalized era, journalism is being transformed by the effortlessly
quick sharing of information across national boundaries. As such,
we need to reconsider foreign correspondence and explore where such
reporting is headed. This book discusses the current state and
future prospects for foreign correspondence across the full range
of media platforms, and assesses developments in the reporting of
overseas news for audiences, governments and foreign policy in both
contemporary and historical settings around the globe. As Emmy
Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning correspondent Serge Schmemann
reminds us in this book, "quality journalism and unbiased reporting
are as valid and necessary today as they ever were [...] one of the
primary tasks of journalists and scholars as they follow the
changes taking place must be to ensure that the 'new international
information order' now imposed by the Internet remains true to the
ideals and traditions that define our journalism." This book was
originally published as a special issue of Journalism Studies.
