What's news? A front-page news story in the United States might not
appear in a newspaper in China. Or a minor story on German
television may be all over the airwaves in India. But "News Around
the World" shows that the underlying nature of news is much the
same the world over and that people--no matter what their jobs or
their status in society--tend to hold similar notions of
newsworthiness.
In this richly detailed study of international news, news makers
and the audience, the authors have undertaken exhaustive original
research within two cities--one major and one peripheral--in each
of ten countries: Australia, Chile, China, Germany, India, Israel,
Jordan, Russia, South Africa, and the United States. The nations
were selected for study based on a central principle of maximizing
variation in geographic locations, economic and political systems,
languages, sizes, and cultures. The remarkable scope of the
research makes this the most comprehensive analysis of
newsworthiness around the globe:
- 10 countries studied, each with a university country director
- 2 cities in each country examined, one major and one
peripheral
- 60 news media studied (newspapers, television, and radio news
programs), resulting in 32,000+ news items analyzed
- 80 focus groups with journalists, public relations practitioners,
and audience members
- 2,400 newspaper stories ranked according to newsworthiness and
compared with how prominently they were published.
"News Around the World "provides remarkable insight into how and
why news stories are reported, testing and improving a theory of
cross-cultural newsworthiness, It is essential reading for anyone
seeking to understand internationalmedia and journalism.
