International News & Foreign Correspondents

This book is an excellent academic text for journalists or journalism students. It explains with deep knowledge the phenomenom of international news and the fact that the US public opinion is very underinformed about facts that happen outside its boundaries. The study itself, about the characteristics of the US correspondents is very detailed, maybe a bit more than necessary, but is very claryfying about their job. As a college teacher, I've found this book very helpfull to introduce and discuss the ways the information travels form one country to others. If you're intersted in exploring the extrange ways that a story becames an international new (newspaper, radio or TV new), you should buy this book.
