Scholars have used the traditional elite foreign correspondent as a prime measure of the quality of foreign news coverage. They regularly track the size of the corps of correspondents and focus their analyses of foreign news on coverage in major established news outlets like The New York Times and CBS. While this model has worked well for many years, it does not now. This is a result of the chronic decline of elite foreign correspondents coupled with the proliferation of alternate sources of foreign news. This article outlines trends changing the flow of foreign news and suggests some of the implications for scholars who wish to study the nexus between news and foreign policy.
