Factors Influencing International News Flow

,There is a wide disparity in the amount of news from various countries printed in the newspapers of other countries. This variation in the origin and destination of internal news flows has been looked at in a number of studies and can be confirmed readily by examining a set of daily newspapers. In order to understand these uneven patterns, researchers have proposed, at times rather nebulously, a number of political, economic, physical, and psychological factors. To date, however, no overview of this research has been presented, nor have the more persistently suggested factors been tested. The purpose of this study is to review what has been done and to test four of these factors in the flow of international news to Canadian daily newspapers.
