Abstract
This study examined differences in slant, deviance, and prominence in news coverage of the 1998 France and 2002 S. Korea/Japan World Cup and host countries, considering countries’ political, economic, and cultural ties as external determinants of the newsworthiness of foreign news. The main findings were that hosting the World Cup did not influence the positive image of a host country or the degree of deviance and prominence of news; U.S. journalists’ preferences for topics covered in foreign news was found in World Cup-related host country news as well as general news of host countries; political, economic, and cultural ties between host countries and the United States were reflected in the general news of host countries; and news coverage of non-Western countries was significantly different in general news. Keywords: news frames of international sporting events, deviance, 1998 and 2002 FIFA World Cup news, national images of South Korea, Japan, and France
