The new research presented in this volume suggests that general
perceptions (cultural, psychological, geographical), allied to the
customs and values of journalism, and underpinned by the uses of
technology, significantly shape international news. This gives rise
to a blend of the old and the new; traditions of cultural
centredness and innovative practices; anchorages of place and the
rootlessness of globalization. Technology per se has not swept all
before it. On the other hand, its uses have altered the means and
methods of international news sourcing, construction and
dissemination. Consequently, the uptake of technology has
contributed to fundamental changes in style and form, and has
greatly facilitated cross-cultural exchanges. The category
international news is now more of a hybrid, as recognized by the
BBC and others. The chapters in this book demonstrate that this
hybridity is unevenly distributed across geo-political domains, and
often across time. Nevertheless, as the contributors to this volume
show, the concept of international news relies on tightly
interwoven elements of orthodox journalism, social media, civic
expression and public assembly.
