Global journalism

It focuses on news that is transnational, considering issues that affect the relationships between multiple nation states and regions.

[1] In contrast, global journalism seeks to explore and communicate how the economic, political, social, and ecological events that occur in multiple parts of the world are connected, and that commonalities do exist outside national boundaries.

[1] To be more specific about how global identity occurs in the news media, Berglez further identifies three ways this could take place.

[1] Sarah Van Leuven and Peter Berglez define the phenomena of global journalism occurring outside the field of traditional foreign news media.

In other words, global journalism is occurring at an unprecedented rate, yet academia and scholars lack not only the empirical evidence but also proper conceptualization of the term.

[1] Some early instances of global journalism can be seen in the nineteenth century when the creation of international new agencies emerged.

[7] In specific, the technological change of increased satellite capacity that allowed for the dissemination of news and information transnationally, thus establishing the seeds of global journalism.

However, having noted that, the following news media outlets and organizations can be considered initial examples of global journalism.

In addition to these examples, Van Leuven and Berglez also find that there are studies that show the news content moving away from a national perspective to a global outlook.
