“…The long held axiom in journalism is that proximity is one major criterion of newsworthiness (Mencher, 2000). However, ascertaining that proximity requires value judgments informed by assumptions about one’s audience (Gasher, 2007). For example, the percentage of a country’s population that is deemed foreign is a key factor to that country’s prominence in the news (Segev, 2015).…”

In October 2018, Honduran citizens started walking toward the American South border looking to be allowed entry into the United States due to not having work opportunities nor humanitarian aid in Honduras. More people joined them and this group was named la caravana migrante, the migrant caravan. Our content analyses of articles in five U.S. and five Central American newspapers sought to find similarities and differences in reporting. Despite differences in language and proximity to the caravan, reporting showed strong uniformity both within and across countries. Implications for universal norms of journalism as well as intermedia agenda setting were explored.

“…As for geographic diversity in multilingual countries, there are indications that coverage is generally skewed with a few places finding attention at the expense of smaller places or peripheral regions. However, the few existing studies do not systematically compare whether media in (language) regions offer more or less diversity in their transregional reporting (Gasher 2007;Beier et al 2020b). This is why we have no clear expectations and formulate an open research question.…”

“…However, in the literature, limited indications can be found regarding how news media select topics for transregional coverage. As an exception, Gasher (2007) pointed out that sports topics are intensively covered in transregional coverage by Canadian newspapers. The literature on a related field, international news flows, paints an ambivalent picture.…”

In reporting about the regions of a country, news media help define relevant topics and contribute to the integration of society. In multilingual countries, covering news across language boundaries is especially important, yet challenging and costly to perform. To what extent the news media use transregional coverage, that is, look beyond their own language regions, is therefore a particularly relevant question for multilingual societies. This study shows how news media in the three language regions of Switzerland observe each other. A representative sample of news items (N = 25,035) from 47 print and online news outlets was automatically structured based on textual mentions of Swiss place names (n = 189) and linked to manually coded variables. The results show that the degree of transregional coverage differs considerably depending on the size of the language regions, the topic, the source, and the media type. When covering other language regions, news media focus on sports, and news media from the two smaller media markets rely heavily on news agency reports. Both public service media and tabloid media use much transregional coverage, with the former focusing on politics and the latter on sports. Thus, media types contribute to integration differently.

“…A limited number of empirical studies include online science news, even though the academic field of online news is booming (Boczkowski, 2005; Gasher, 2007; Karlsson, 2010; Wurff and Lauf, 2005). So far, no distinct differences in content between offline and online science news have been detected (Brossard, 2013; Cacciatore et al, 2012; Gerhards and Schäfer, 2010; Habel et al, 2009; Hyde, 2006; Wilson et al, 2009), although structural differences are visible.…”

Science news in a closed and an open media market: A comparative content analysis of print and online science news in Denmark and the United Kingdom

Most content analyses of science news are conducted in large Anglo-American media markets. However, we speculate that the intimacy between sources and journalists in small media markets can influence science coverage. Here, we present a comparative analysis of Danish and British newspaper science news in 2012. We find that in both countries science news amounts to about 4% of the total news flow. We also observe that Danish science news more often than British science news is triggered by political events, gives priority to national stories and includes more coverage of humanities and social sciences. Contrary, British science news is more traditional and favours stories on health and the natural sciences often triggered by a journal article. We attribute these differences to intimacy between the public, media, political and scientific spheres in Denmark partly rooted in a closed corporatist media market compared to an open liberal market in the United Kingdom.
