Abstract

Theoretically, the Internet allows news organizations to overcome geopolitical hierarchies in international news flow. Practically, do they? Guided by three perspectives--preferential attachment, world system, and triadic world--this study examines patterns of information flow in online news media. Findings from 223 news Web sites in seventy-three countries show that traditional network structures and world hierarchies are reproduced in online media. In cyberspace, news flow takes place predominantly among core countries and from core countries to the periphery. Geography has no predictive power over news flow. News organizations use the Internet to reinforce old practices, perpetuating existing order among nations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The decline in readership and the rise of the Internet as a source for information have made news media's online outlets more important than ever. This study first maps the use of interactive features by news organizations around the world. Then it examines whether the use of these features is associated with the political, economic, and organizational ecologies that news media work in. 100 news websites from 30 countries were coded for their use of interactive features. One major finding was that news media preferred using features that maintain the one-to-many flow of information over opening two-way communication channels. The medium that a news organization is associated with was the most potent predictor of the use of interactive features: Websites of newspapers used, overall, more features than others. Also, overall, news media in richer countries were more likely to use even the simplest features than media in poorer countries. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
