Homogeneity Around the World?

Comparing the Systemic Determinants of International News Flow between Developed and Developing Countries

H. Denis Wu

Manship School of Mass Communication, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70803-7202, USA, hdeniswu{at}lsu.edu

This study investigates and compares the impact of systemic determinants on international news flow between developed and developing nations. Systemic factors are defined as traits of nation, interaction and relatedness, and logistics of news gathering and distribution. Trade volume is found to be the dominant predictor of news flow. Trade and presence of news agencies impact news flow regardless of the nation's development level. Population and distance, however, are found to be predictors only in the developing countries, while GDP is an exclusive predictor in the developed counterparts. Globally speaking, trade, population, news agencies and geographic proximity emerge as conducive factors to transnational news flow.

Key Words: development level • foreign news • international news • news flow • systemic determinants
