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.
