Abstract

In a modern society flooded with a vast range of media, newspapers provide a variety of information to readers and help them in making informed choices. Different types and categories of news events occurring at local, regional, national and international levels, selected on the basis of news values and newsworthiness form the core of a newspaper. International news bringing events from beyond national boundaries is a good indicator of the emphasis a newspaper places on global issues. The selection, placement and treatment accorded to international news, in addition to information dissemination, indicate the priorities and approach of a newspaper. In view of globalization, it becomes even more important that international news be given adequate space and projection in newspaper columns so that it contributes towards international goodwill and peace and helps in the understanding of cross-cultural relations. An overview of the Indian press will help to appreciate the projection of international news in the Indian press and situate it in a larger context.
