“…As a conceptual framework, their theory argues that economic, social, political, and geographic characteristics of nations determine the amount and the nature of coverage one country receives in another country's news media. However, despite the ingenuity, the factors raised and the hypotheses postulated by Galtung and Ruge were found to contain psychological elements and are hard to investigate (Hur, 1984). Dupree (1971) was probably the first researcher to test (part of) the structural theory.…”

This study investigates the influence of systemic determinants on international news coverage in 38 countries. Systemic factors include traits of nations, magnitude of interaction and relatedness between nations, and logistics of news gathering.Multiple regression is implemented to assess 9 systemic determinants in each individual country. Findings indicate that the U.S. was the most covered country in the world. In spite of some variation, trade volume and presence of international news agencies were found to be the 2 primary predictors of the amount of news coverage. The study concludes that the prediction framework of international news coverage has probably altered in the post-Cold War epoch and, therefore, that the relevant problems need to be revisited.

“…Despite a huge volume of theoretical and empirical research, it is still not clear whether international news flow and coverage are influenced by the news professional's decision-making, the cross-media difference, or by the news event itself being considered newsworthy (Hur, 1984). In addition, geographical bias in international news research is well known (Tsang et al, 1988).…”

This article examines the organizational determinants in explaining the nature and structure of international news coverage in Korean daily newspapers. Specifically, similarities and differences in international news coverage among the dailies are investigated. Then their relationships with some organizational antecedents are analysed from a cross-organizational perspective. The results reveal that the international news net of Korean newspapers is shaped spatially according to the organizational discrepancy of national and provincial papers; it also is structured temporally by the difference in time shift of the production cycle between morning and evening papers. In conclusion, organizational resources and editorial policies condition how the spatiotemporal news net for international news production is fabricated, which in turn results in different performances of international news coverage among daily newspapers.

“…In the literature on international news flow and coverage, at least three sources of influence on the selection of the news have been identified: attributes of the events themselves, relations between states, and characteristics of the media (Hur, 1984). Certain characteristics of an event increase the likelihood that it will attract international media attention.…”
