International news has long been studied and understood as produced
by outsiders – foreign correspondents working in exotic,
international locales. This book challenges this established view
by putting the spotlight on the insiders working in their own
countries producing news for international audiences. Western male
foreign correspondents who report from areas affected by crises and
conflicts for an ‘audience back home’ have long stood in as
visible metaphors of international news production. But the
understanding of who produces international news is starting to
shift as scholars come to take into account the often-invisible
role played by locally based, non-Western news-workers who have
always been part and parcel of international news production. The
roles and responsibilities of these professional, specialised
locals within the global flow of news have only increased as
falling news industry revenues have meant reductions in non-local
staff in foreign news bureaus. Available research shows that the
involvement of local journalists and fixers, as well as NGOs, as
sources of news and information in international news production is
marked by economic, socio-cultural and practice-related tensions.
To shed light on these growing yet relatively less investigated
changes happening in international news-making, this book brings
together the latest of studies conducted on this form of
journalistic labour around the world. This book will contribute to
both the breadth and depth of our future understanding of local
news-work that benefits distant audiences, and also help cement the
place of such journalistic work as a vital topic of analysis in its
own right. The chapters in this book were originally published as a
special issue of Journalism Studies.
