International news flow is a field of study that deals with the news coverage of events in foreign countries. It attempts to describe and explain the flow of news from one country to another[1].
Studies on international news flow typically try to understand why certain countries are more newsworthy than others[2][3]. Along the years it was found that the economic power of countries plays a particularly crucial role in the news prominence of countries[4] as well as the presence of international news agencies[5]. Thus, the US has been found to be very prominent in news mentions around the world (18%), followed by China, Western European and Middle Eastern countries (about 3-5% each)[1].
The unequal representation of the world and the under-representation of developing countries have been already of a great concern at least since the 1950s, since they influence the way people perceive the world and the image of countries[6]. This problem was later addressed in the MacBride report, and his set of recommendations for a New World Information and Communication Order.
Still, recent empirical studies[7][4] show that among online news websites the unequal representation of the world is perpetuated and even further intensified.
