Abstract
ABSTRACT Do diverse mainstream media yield diverse world views? In a 197-nation accounting of international news flow, this study evaluates foreign news reporting by The New York Times, The Guardian, National Public Radio, Fox Network News, and Al Jazeera. The study evaluates news consonance, assessing the extent that foreign reporting by these diverse media organisations focused on the same nations. The study provides additional context by analyzing the agenda-setting role of three prominent news determinants: external events, geographical proximity, and population size. The results indicate that even through the collective lens of diverse news outlets, foreign news coverage by major English-language media remains strikingly narrow and uniform in its view of the world. The study also provides an alternate vision: How the view of the world would be substantially different if news coverage were commensurate with national population.
