                                    This study investigates the influence of systemic determinants on international news coverage in 38 countries. Systemic factors include traits of nations, magnitude of interaction and relatedness between nations, and logistics of news gathering. Multiple regression is implemented to assess 9 systemic determinants in each individual country. Findings indicate that the U.S. was the most covered country in the world. In spite of some variation, trade volume and presence of international news agencies were found to be the 2 primary predictors of the amount of news coverage. The study concludes that the prediction framework of international news coverage has probably altered in the post-Cold War epoch and, therefore, that the relevant problems need to be revisited.
                                    本研究调查了 38 个国家的系统性决定因素对国际新闻报道的影响。系统性因素包括国家特征、国家之间互动和关联的程度以及新闻采集的后勤。采用多元回归来评估每个国家的 9 个系统性决定因素。调查结果表明,美国是世界上覆盖范围最广的国家。尽管存在一些差异,但贸易量和国际新闻机构的存在被发现是新闻报道量的两个主要预测因素。研究的结论是,国际新闻报道的预测框架在后冷战时期可能发生了变化,因此需要重新审视相关问题。
