In what ways did the end of the Cold War signal a shift in the amount of media coverage devoted to foreign events? How did changes to the international system affect the ways in which the media covered foreign affairs? What impact, if any, did the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks have on news media coverage of foreign relations?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers should address the sharp decline in foreign coverage at the end of the Cold War and how this decline led to a heavy reliance on wire services, such as the Associated Press and Reuters. Responses should identify how this decrease reflected how market pressures affect media coverage. Examples of changes to the international system may include the absence of ideological conflict, the rise of regional conflict, and globalization, and may also mention the emergence of phenomena such as rooftop journalism and the CNN effect. News media coverage of foreign relations increased sharply after 9/11, and viewership grew for broadcast networks as well as cable networks.
