“…These factors, however, cannot be the best predictors of international news flow when they are examined with other factors such as political and economic factors [4,19,27]. Therefore, Rosengren [31] added extra-media (context-oriented) factors such as political and economic variables to the Galtung and Ruge's intra-media (event-oriented) factors [5]. Once cultural factors were widely identified as one of extra-media factors, the studies began to seek more comparative and testable variable to examine cultural factors.…”

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.

“…For instance, Hjarvard (2002: 94) pointed towards a neglect of the broader journalistic context and the particularities of the selection process while Rosengren (1970;1974) stressed the importance to include extra-media data in the analysis of news selection practices (cf. infra).…”

“…Useful to test if Galtung and Ruge's framework still stands when researching international crises today is our previous work on the selection and coverage of international news by Belgian newspapers, with a focus on crises (natural and technological disasters) occurring between 1986 and 2006 (Joye, 2010b). Additionally, we incorporated in the research design an important point of criticism on the model of Galtung and Ruge by Karl E. Rosengren (1970) Rosengren (1970;1974) noted that research on gatekeeping and news selection would benefit from what he referred to as extra-media data or data gathered from outside and independent of news media such as official documents and databases. 4 Only then, Rosengren argues, is it possible to reflect on differences between (an objective determination of ) 'reality' and its mediated representation.…”

“…Rosengren (1974), and Golding and Elliott (1979) place more weight on external economic and political factors. Westerståhl and Johansson (1994), and Allern (2002) follow intermediate -though not identical -routes, considering both internal (technical) and external (ideological and economic) factors.…”

The first issue of for(e)dialogue is composed of a collection of papers given at the New Directions in Media Research (NDiMR) postgraduate conference in June 2015 at the University of Leicester.NDiMR is a one-day postgraduate focused conference organised by PhD students from the Department of Media and Communication. This conference has a similar aim and purpose of this journal as a whole which is to provide postgraduate students, PhD students and early career researchers with a platform and opportunity to develop and share their research and critically contribute to discussions of theory and methodology on a variety of Media and Communication issues. The NDiMR conference has been held annually since 2012, each year growing in size and attracting more delegates and presenters from across the world. However, this is the first time that some of the events' presentation papers have been collected for a published conference proceedings.This issue features eight papers presented at the NDiMR 2015 event that all touch upon one or more of the broad themes of the conference. Two of the issues' papers are more theoretical in nature with one being the only new media focused work of the collection. This first paper, 'A poststructuralist review of selfies: moving beyond the heteronormative visual rhetorics' by Patricia Routh, discusses 'gendered selfie production' and the relevant theories for gender identity within the online communities that 'selfies' are shared. The second more theoretical paper, 'Paul Ricoeur, visual hermeneutics and political science: an 'incompatible' relation (?)' by Nikos Kaplantzis, explores the idea of re-working Ricoeur's critical hermeneutics notion to offer a stronger basis for combining visual studies and political communication approaches.As well as theoretical discussion, there is a strong theme of exploring media representations within this issue. In 'A review on China's soft power projection through its transnational media institutions: conveying discourse of economic responsibilities in media 'going-out'' Xin Zhao presents a literature review on China's media 'going out project', a soft power initiative put in place by the Chinese government to represent their country in a way that counteracts the notion of 'China as a threat'. Other than the media representing a key government message, this journal issue also includes 'Public service broadcasting: the challenges of representing ethnic minority audiences' by Gurvinder Aujla-Sidhu, a paper that explores equality of representation at the BBC, the UK's public AcknowledgementsWe would like to take this opportunity as Editors to thank all those who have helped with the creation and publication of this journal issue. We would firstly like to thank our PhD colleagues for their support during this 18 month process of setting up this journal and publishing this first issue.
