Abstract

Since the attacks of 9/11, U.S. media coverage of foreign news has changed significantly. As part of a wider study, this research identifies trends in reporting Europe in the United States after 9/11. Following a summary of the current state of research, the study’s methodological design is discussed. It is based on a sample of 27 qualitative semistructured in-depth interviews with foreign correspondents working for different U.S. media outlets in Europe. The interviewed correspondents describe that since 9/11, U.S. public interest in 9/11-related foreign affairs has increased while general U.S. foreign news coverage has decreased further. With the geographic news focus shifted toward the Middle East, Europe-based U.S. foreign correspondents increasingly report about Muslim communities in Europe. The article also discusses perspectives pertaining to the future development of transatlantic foreign reporting and foreign correspondents in the post-9/11 era.
