World news

World news is reporting on events and developments in countries and regions beyond a single domestic setting. It covers international politics, conflict, disasters, diplomacy, economies, and society.

International journalism: Journalism that reports on events and issues across national borders. World news is its public-facing coverage of cross-border events.
News gathering: The process of finding, observing, and collecting information for news reports. It begins the reporting chain that turns overseas events into coverage.
Local news: Reporting focused on events and issues within a particular community or area. Its geographic focus is narrower than world news.
Agenda-setting theory: The theory that media attention influences which issues audiences regard as important. Uneven attention to world events can shape public priorities.
Foreign correspondent: A journalist based abroad or assigned to report from another country. Correspondents provide local reporting for audiences elsewhere.
Source (journalism): A person, document, or institution that provides information to a journalist. Foreign reporting often depends on sources who can verify events locally.
National news: Reporting centered on events and issues within one country. It prioritizes domestic developments over international coverage.
CNN effect: The proposed influence of real-time television news on foreign policy decisions. Intense coverage of overseas crises can increase pressure on governments to respond.
News agency: An organization that gathers and distributes news to media outlets and other subscribers. Agencies supply international reporting to publishers with limited overseas staff.
Fact-checking: The process of verifying claims against evidence and reliable sources. Verification helps prevent false or misleading accounts of distant events.
