Today, all international stories are potentially local—and vice versa. Conflicts such as the invasion of Ukraine or the Israel-Hamas War, for example, hold our attention much longer than they used to. Digital platforms such as Facebook and X (and WhatsApp) allow international news to travel with blinding speed. And the rise of citizen journalism has democratized international reporting. In short, the very nature of international journalism has changed. It is faster-paced, more widely distributed, and poses a bevy of ethical challenges for journalists today. With all of that as a backdrop, this course examines how international reporting has evolved in recent years; how journalists handle the complexities that have come with that evolution; how U.S. news audiences consume international news; how American news organizations now treat these stories; and how the global media climate has impacted how people all over the world produce and consume news. One final note: Although most international news tends to be driven by crisis and conflict, we will focus much of our attention on how to cover different cultures (which is a lot of what international reporting is all about) in ways that are smart, fair, sophisticated, engaging, and nuanced.
