Predicting News Flow from Mexico

“…He believed Galtung and Ruge were concentrating on this interplay in their framework. 12 Rosengren focused on the importance of "extra-media" variables and called for a commitment to specific economic and political variables, rather than broader concepts such as cultural proximity.I3 Ostgaard also considered factors extraneous to the news process, along with the economics / logistics of newsgathering, and audience ~rientations. '~ Additional research about international news determinants has categorized these variables as context-oriented and event-oriented; or intrinsic and e~trinsic.…”

A Cross-Cultural Study of News Media Preferences

It is, therefore, predicted that extramedia variables such as the perceived quality of trade and political relations between nations-which, in large part, influence the content of the international news flow-will play some role in media exposure.…”

“…Dupree (1971) put the structural theory to test, discovering that 11 national trait variables are related to international news coverage. In a similar vein, de Verneil (1977) and Rosengren (1977) found factors such as trade and population affect the volume of news a nation receives, yet the explicability of each factor varies across countries. Robinson and Sparkes (1976) also investigated the impact of national traits in 39 newspapers in Canada and the US and discovered that the results are not the same between the two.…”
