Global journalism
Global journalism is a news style that encompasses a global outlook and considers issues that transcend national boundaries like climate change, focusing on news that are intercontinental and the relationships between nation states.[1][2] Global journalism is different from foreign journalism in that foreign journalism focuses on stories in different regions in that region's specific context, while global journalism works to bring foreign issues into a global context.
Definitions
Scholars such as Stephen Ward feel that traditional media practices are typically designed to deal with news on the national rather than global level, which negatively impacts an outlet's ability to report on news on the global level.[1] Peter Berglez believes that the focus of global journalism is the increasingly complex relations caused by globalization and that while global journalism exists in news, it has yet to be defined and established as a style, and is often confused with foreign journalism.[3] He also conceptualizes global journalism into three different relationships, global space, global powers, and global identities, which he believes are a common factor in representations of global journalism and could be helpful to the empirical studies of global journalism as a news style.[3]
Kurysheva, Puiy, Litvinenko, Bykov, and Danilov also emphasize the importance of conceptualizing the notion of global journalism as the practices are detached from the theory. [4] They further go onto identifying four main aspects through which global journalism could be conceptualized- geographical, discursive, political and economic, and lastly, professional- in order to develop a deeper understanding of the concept.
