“…a preference for news from nearby countries' (Wilke, 1987: 150). Analysis of the New York Times' coverage of foreign disasters similarly found that distance from the USA was the only pertinent contextual factor (van Belle, 2000), and the regionalism effect was also detected in Oceania (Nnaemeka and Richstad, 1980). This finding was moderated in Chang and Lee (2009), which found that geographic proximity was significant only for television coverage, not newspapers.…”

“…The context-oriented approach examines how extrinsic predictors influence news coverage among countries. The following components are usually used as extra-media variables: communication access and technologies [9], cultural proximity [6], economic development [10], elite status [11], former colonial ties [12], ideological groupings [13], international news services [14], geographical proximity [15], GNP per capita [16], language [17], population and size of nation [18], and regionalism [19].…”

“…Hester [20] argues that cultural affinity involves language, migration, travel, and former colonial relations between countries. Language is employed to evaluate how cultural affinity works in international news flow [17][18], while language is also used to assess cultural proximity in the research on international news flow [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Cultural affinity, furthermore, is measured in terms of ethnicity [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], former colonial relationships [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], or geographical proximity [23]. Cultural proximity is also evaluated by some concepts such as ethnicity [5,24,25,26] and geographical proximity …”

“…While Kim and Barnett's and Wu's [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] studies employed language to examine international news flow in the larger framework of global news system, Chang, Shoemaker, and Brendlinger [7] used it to identify the best predictor determining what international events were covered in the U.S. media. Kariel and Rosenvall [17] employed language to compare English and French newspapers in Canada as to see how cultural affinity influences international news natures.…”

“…While language is a powerful tool when modern nation states unify territories and when a country colonizes other countries, former colonial tie itself is also considered to be an important factor influencing international news flow [12]. Dupree [10] argues that the best predictors of international news are former colonial ties and economic comparative figures.…”

Abstract. This paper offers a review of the literature of international news flow, and surveys how the previous studies have attempted to capture "cultural factors" influencing the flow. The factors are grouped into four types of variables: language, former colonial tie, ethnicity, and geographical proximity. This paper argues that cultural factors cannot be significant without economic interests in the era of post-Cold War, that the structure of international news is imbalanced because a few powerful countries dominate the international news market, and that international news reduces cultural varieties to the singular international realities disseminated by the media of such countries.
